Joining Fuselage Halves

With the fuselage halves clecoed, coarse accessory holes were cut where the door openings will be to provide access to the inside.

A vat of micro was prepared, as well as some BID layup tapes. The clecoes were removed and micro was applied to the top of the firewall flange. Duct tape was then applied to the exterior fuselage seam to prevent too much squish-out of micro. Clecoes were re-attached and micro was applied to fill the seam between the fuselage halves, smoothed, and covered with a layup.
