Sonerai 1 project ... fabrication

I am going to show a few pics of the fuse construction of my S2 for reference. It shows some of the work that has gone into the S1 up to the point before I got it. Its not just cut, place, and weld. There are strict measurements that must be followed. The plans for these aircraft are very specific, and very  challenging to decipher at times. Part of the fun is trying to figure out what you looking at or reading, and turning that information into a finished product. It really does form before your eyes, and the process is a really cool journey into the construction and inner workings of an airplane.
