Well its about time I got my fingers back covered with glue as its been ages since I took on a build, thanks to Scouse for pointing this one out and forwarding the plans I decided to scale it up from 40 to 50 Inch wingspan.
This is only the start of the build and theres a fair way to go yet but progress is good.
The plans are printed and I ended up with 32 sheets to tape up Rolling Eyes
I've cut out the main body of the fuse and the tail section which takes a 5mm carbon rod before glueing the two together.
Pictures say more than I could here so lets get this one underway.

Across its widest point this one is almost 11 Inches across

Here it is with the tail section slotted and glued into place along with the cabin area to house the lipo.

Heres a better shot from the side

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31266615@N03/6978098192/" title="Icon side fuse by kf52t, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8157/6978098192_fc260119e0_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="Icon side fuse"></a>

Time to build up the sides of the fuse ready for the outer skin this is where all those small scraps of depron come in really handy,
I'll post more when I get further with the build.

A few more pictures to look over as the fuse is starting to take shape now the formers are going in, its going well so far and with the tab build its a glue and slot in build, I think its going to get a little more involved down the line though Smile
Theres not much in the way of a build guide on this one but there are quite a few pictures to go by so hopefully I've got this one right so far.

How honest am I... I mis placed the rear top former...I placed it on top of the fuse and It should go underneath, in my defence all the top formers were labelled 1a,2a etc
and the bottom formers labelled 1b,2b this one was just labelled f6 so its an honest mistake.
Anyway its all good now and the former doublers for the bottom formers are now in place, it seems to be getting heavier by each piece.

thats amazing Keith. looks like it will be quite robust fuzz.

It goes together easy Jeff and to get this far I've used one sheet of I think another 2 should see it done but that's only because I'm going to try a different wing design, the original is a kfm setup and I really want a full airfoil wing hence the extra sheet. Hell I might even buy.a set of wings for this one.
Your right on the fuse it's a solid build.
