Is it okay to splice the fuselage side plywood at an upright? I purchased
some 4x4' pieces of ply from McCormicks -- they didn't have any 4x8' sheets. If
it's not a good idea that's okay as I'll use the 4x4' pieces for gussets, etc.
Just wondering...

Fred,
Worst case you could scarf them. It is not all that hard to do with a hand
plane or a router jig. It is done for building stitch and glue kayaks and
canoes.

I did. I butted mine together on top of a diagonal or upright. Glued a corresponding
strip of 1 1/2 inch plywood over the butt joint and seems to work ok.
If it's under the fabric nobody sees it. And the glued area doing it this
way is as good or better than the scarf.
My opinion.

Hi Fred
I spliced ours at a upright.
I scoffed the joint so it is hidden behind the upright.
Used a radial arm saw with a sanding disk instead of a blade .
Set the saw about 3 degrees of horz.

I agree with Cy. The only acceptable way to join plywood, or any length of
wood for that matter, is to use the Scarf Joint, as described in AC 43-13

I was just looking over 3 pc plan and wondering, how do you lead the aileron cable
through the turning pulley and attach the wing? To clarify, the swedge turnbuckle
end are too large to fit thru the pulley. Do you have to unbolt the
pulley or is it typical to add a linkage at the wing side? I don't see anything
on the plan about this.
