A few strategically placed holes were cut into the fuselage for ventilation and wire routing.

To all the Canadians out there reading this thread. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.
 The sun was shining today and I took some shots of this Falcon that was in the backyard before heading inside for some turkey dinner.  Chris |

Great looking framework Chris. What are you planning on using as covering?

Hi George, Already started applying the solartex. At least started on the hatch, as that was the easiest and quickest place to start tonight.

Lovely job on the Falcon Chris. Always nice to see the skeleton structure completed before covering goes on hiding all that labour intensive work. Should have a nice flier there. Allen

------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for all the nice comments guys. That round and tapered fuselage does have me a little worried. I am hoping covering won't be too difficult in this area. Chris |

Covering with solartex.
Thanks Colin. The hatch was easy, the cowl was way more difficult to cover with one piece.

I think solartex does a pretty good job on curves. But regardless, you are doing an amazing job!
