Hi,
Since the Razorback has morphed from a freewing design to a fixed wing design, and since the design process is now largely complete - it is probably appropriate to begin a new thread dedicated to the build process, and simply reference the older design thread for those interested enough in following the sometimes torturous path I've trodden so far...
The design thread can be found here:

From now on, I'll devote my posts to discussing the actual build process.
As of today (Frid 11 June):
Till later,
Duncan

As of today (Frid 11 June):
- I have erected a sturdy beam between two sturdy uprights
- I've attached the 16" spinner bulkhead to one end of the beam
- I've fitted a single seatback bulkhead
- I have stretched 4.5mm glassfibre rods from front to back at regular intervals, forming a very uniform torpedo shape
- I have begun attaching vertical "hoops" to tie all the longerons together. Each joint is currently loosely fastened with string, but will be bonded in place with a drop of epoxy when all rods are in place and the shape is perfectly uniform
Till later,
Duncan
