Note : this will end up being no good !

ready to join the aft section

Note 2: because the joint going aft is relatively week, I added a wood dowel to the framing to add structural support.

join the aft section

I had to use low tack tape to keep it all together. A- the glue just was not sufficient. B- the aft section was a bit warped and would not conform at the joint line.


when removing the tape, it just pulled off the colors ( a stupid move on my part ).
