Now that the gear is installed, I thought today would be a good time to ad the stringers. They look more bowed in this picture than they really are.

The first thing I did
today was to add these bottom stringers. I didn't install them when I
added the side stringers because the gear was not mounted yet and the
fuselage was sitting on the ground and I didn't want the plane sitting
on the stringers.

Most of the day was spent cutting the interior sections out. The first thing to do was to cut out some of the holes in the back piece. I started by using a step drill to drill most of the material away. |

|
Then I used a dremel tool to open the slot up. |

|
After finishing the top back piece, I cut out the bottom baggage compartment piece. |

|
Here are the two pieces fit into place. They will still require some trimming. |

|
All the pieces are cut out with shears. |

A dremel was used to finish cut the edges and holes. |

Here is the side piece roughly fit in place. |
