There are a lot of things to think about, power, scale wing airfoil or not, well, they can wait for the time being. Concentrating on the fuselage molds first, last night I got the forward fuselage section filled in where I cut it away from the main fuselage section. lots of little blocks of pine glued in place.
Tonight I sanded the blocks flush and use bondo as a filler to smooth and fill the area. Will now sand that sorta smooth.
Then it's onto the main fuselage section, got it partly filled last night, will finish that up tonight and then tomorrow night I'll fill in the whole top where the wing was going to sit. Getting that 4 degrees slope will be fun.
