Waco YMF-5 Build part 2

Fuselage Left Side

The balsa stringers are two pieces in length. They did a good job of cutting the scarf joints for you so glue it and pin it down.

Lots of miter cuts for the frame.

Because I was building this as an inverse to the drawings.  I will soon discover I glued the hardwood doublers incorrectly.

Did I mention…lots of miter cuts.  Many kits illustrate 45 degree cuts but I prefer to cut both edges of the cross member.  This allows the glue joint to touch BOTH the vertical and horizontal frame members.
