I just figured out that the "inlet slot" in the fwd part of the wing panels is too short to make the inlet skin fit the fuselage properly. In fact, I believe the inlet skin should have a matching pair of slots; but there is nothing like this to be found on the plans. Instead of guessing the slot position on the inlet skin, I just made the the wing slots longer
I also figured out the "height" at which the inlet should meet the wing based on the width of the straight parts of the upper/lower fuselage skin parts.
After all this figuring out, I just used some more razor blade moves and a ton of glue; and here's the result:
(don't worry about the closed cockpit, please. It's just a part of "technological process" and will be cut open; but I'm leaving it for my 6 yr old son to do it tomorrow. He asked for it himself, so I can't let him down).
From this point I can finally (and correctly this time) determine how much I need to correct the EDF mounting spacers. After that it will be just a matter of glueing the EDF itself in and more skin panels around it. And that's basically it in terms of the "business end" of the plane.
It's time to start figuring out the "pointy end"; and here's the problem: I can't imagine how the mid-nose (or front-cockpit, if you like) part joins the fuselage. I think that the two triangular slots in the belly skin play a role in the joining thing; but I have a hard time imagining it. It would probably become clear if I would just cut the parts and try to assemble them; but since I need to modify most of the parts, I'd rather see how it is supposed to look like before any cutting is done.
Can anyone provide some close-up photos of the bottom of the plane in the cockpit area, and preferably inside the cockpit as well? That would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
P.S. Weight check-in showed ~100g at this point. Assuming 150g for the remaining foam/glue, the calculations show approx. 800-850g AUW of the completed plane. In this case the design buffer is around 100-150g; so I'm now moderately positive about the overall results.
