4 hours for one weld! The final fuselage side diagonals are in place but the top weld was the hardest yet. The first side was no problem but it was impossible to get into the joint to do a simple fillet on the second tube so the only way was to fill the cluster out to the point that access was possible. Again this was thin tube welded to a thick existing weld so it was a question of adding a bit of weld and then rotating the fuselage to get access to the next run - anyway finally it was complete some 4 hours later and I can guarantee it won't come apart! The final job for today was to run a fillet of braze between the tailspring mount tube and the longerons to ensure that there is no way for dampness to get into the fuselage tubing. Next job to get the flux off.
