DE25 Part 4

I really didn't take so many pictures of the sanding, the longboarding, the fairing. If you've ever done it yourself, then you don't need to be reminded of the wretched misery and woe. And if you haven't done it, then far better that you should walk the green fields of Earth, untroubled in your innocence.

Here we are, flipping the hull right side up so that we can commence work on the interior.

Right-side-up and empty, she looks really big. We next will repeat the process by filleting, taping and sheathing the entire inside of the hull with layers of biaxial fiberglass cloth and epoxy.

Now the stringers and the bulkheads go back in, trimming them to fit where needed to work with the newly added fillets and layers of glass and tapes.

The taller bulkheads that weren't used in the building jig are also ready to be fitted. This one will make up the back of the cabin.
