Building the Lift Duct

This photo shows the water passage on all of the ribs and the amount of screws I used to skin the craft. Take note
as well that the bottom of the craft is skinned on top of the main stringers.

Just another pic of the skinning process.

Here you can see the side rails of the cabin going in.

I used electrical ties to hold the piece in place, slowly tightening them to make the curve as I don't have a steamer.

Again showing the process of slowly tightening the piece to make the bend.

Look closely at the back you can see the forward duct guard mounts in place I used 3/4 e.m.t. to mount the 1/2 e.m.t.
