Fast forward a few days, all stringers and gluing supports are in the bottom, as well as 1/4 doublers for engine rails (I’m using 1” thick isolators instead of 3/4. So between the 2-1/4 in doublers, one each side, and 1/4”in longer isolators, I close the engine well back to 5in, from the 6 in I started with. (Thank you Chris Herzog for hashing this out with me!). Also I added a 1/8” doubler for the turn fin to make that area 1/4” in total. That will further have a 3/16” piece of aluminum glasssd in behind it once the sponson bottoms go on. Today I sanded mostly. The bottom is about complete the sponson bottoms are complete, and one sponson side and one non trip are finished. I have one side to go on those and I’ll be ready to put the non trips on and then look at getting the bottom on.
