Question Trial construction
I decided to scan and print out the frames and the skins so I can experiment first.

Here are the parts of the fuselage frames

and assembled ( but not with all the pieces )

and the fuselage test printed skins.

The intent is that they would be glued onto the frames. I don't see how that is possible! There is no material over the frames and I am sure there will be gaps as well as warped fuselage.


hmmm.....
