Snipped the corners of the cowl to fit over the front cage tubes, snipped those dumb doors out, and started gluing the ribs and stringers together. There is a LOT of work left to do, before we can begin skinning it with fabric.





I have a small dip to fix in the rear rib. I didn't use screws when I glued them, this time, and left them standing on end to dry - it slipped out of place a little before the glue set. Easy fix.

I'm also making changes and adjustments as I build the roof, to make the original CAD design work in reality. CAD/CNC was to develop the basic shape, and produce the critical surfaces. The goal from here on is to make it look like an artistic swipe at a rag top, that was dipped in carbon fiber and (flat or satin) clear.
