The fuselage has gone relatively smoothly. I've tacked up enough of the central section of her to close the tail and nose. Dale stopped by to help out and it all went smoothly.
The deal here is to maintain a constant pressure on the side you're pulling in while evenly heating both the top and bottom longeron just behind the cluster at the point where the bend will occur. Don't force the side in, just keep the torch moving, heating each point and suddenly she'll give and move. Kept both sides straight and square too.
Now that we've folded the tail and nose, all that's left are the crosstubes and diagonals.
The holidays are coming up, not to mention shutdown at work, so Hatz work will probably grind to a halt.
