Fuselage

The fuselage is constructed of sheet metal and riveted together.  It is built in modular sections: the rear fuselage and the forward fuselage assemblies are first built separately, and then joined together. The rear fuselage has a basic rectangular section with a rounded top. The bottom of the fuselage is flat, and rounded at the front to join the fiberglass engine cowl.
