Cool Fuselage joining

Now that we have the front and back laves, it's time to join them. A closer look showed me that the connection using only the lower tabs will not be strong at this point especially with the nose weights ( the design relies on the two side inlets to support the joint, but that comes later ).

my solution which I used for these type of fuselages is to insert a wood dowel in between

here is the process:
