Where the plans call for a 3/16 hole for the cabane fittings is that for a AN3 bolt? When fitting the tail the rear most horizontal stab fittings under the stab do you use one bolt to go right through both fittings and do I need some sort of shim to square things up because of the fuse angle? Or maybe a better question is how do I fit the tail fittings to the fuse?

If you haven't visited www.bowersflybaby.com you are missing out. The flybaby is a wood airplane and uses the same engines we use. One of my favorite sections is Harry Fenton's section on engines. A must read if your not an A & P. Most of our engine questions are answered and if their not, he will answer them. Lots of great building, clothing, flying and general information for those of us that build, maintain, fly or just love open cockpit wooden planes.

My question is this. For those of you finished, when did you paint the fuselage in the process? It seems to make sense to get everything fabricated and assembled, then disassemble and paint but that seems like it might be uncecessary work. I could paint the fabric now, but I'm afraid of messing it up as everything is fitted and affixed etc. Also, if I plumb for my wing tank, do I do it with the sheet metal off for easier access, and if so, can you get the sheet metal down over the fuel lines sticking up from the fuse? Appreciate any tips.
