February 9th, 2015.
Spent the night rejigging the cross tubes to get upper longerons centered.  Had to cut a tack weld yet again. Began fitting up the rearmost upper/lower longeron cross tube.  This is definitely one of the more tedious stages to-date.

February 4th, 2015
Been unable to work, sick the last week. Ugh.

A tad bit frustrated today. Spent 2.5 hours fabricating a somewhat difficult tube - it crosses from lower longeron on one side to upper longhorn on the other side of the fuselage. My goof - got it done and tacked in place and realized that it was supposed to be lower on the OTHER side and UPPER on the opposite. After much grumbling, I cut it out and in 20 minutes fabricated another tube and had it in correctly. Sigh.... I also spent an hour just checking my jigging on everything and making sure that measurements were correct. I did find one upper longeron tube that I needed to cut loose, push the upper longerons in one direction about 1/8", then re-tack it.  I really like the lazer setup.
