Keep it straight.

I did all the measurements to make sure everything was put back together straight. After repairing both main stringers and two formers down the fuselage I checked for twist and banana shape which can be common with repaired fuselages. I happy to report it was perfect.

The rudder is repaired, covered and back on the fuse. All the bottom stringers on the fuse have been spliced and replaced.

Most of the balsa needed to be replaced around the wing support and this was the hardest area to keep straight while gluing but thankfully CA with zip kicker made this go by pretty quick.

The engine box is painted and waiting for the engine to return from DA. Next I will strip part of the wings and begin the skin and tip repair.
