Forgotten step




This step should have been before last. The top corner of the hinge spar should have been reinforced, remember it has to be trimmed. Clamp your pieces in, no metal fasteners!











I added two cross braces. One at the very front of the roof, and one near the top of the hinge spar. The lower brace can be used for a shelf support. Repeat on other side, and when the glue sets up trim along front edge of skin. You did not put any staples or screws through the area to be cut did you, remove before cutting.








This picture shows what it looks like after trimming. next make a piece that goes on top that matches the bottom pieces angle, and install. The boards clamped on with orange clamps are temporary bracing till it is skinned. Now you are ready for the last step.
