How do you figure  that? If the sides vertical that meansthat the bottom
is wider and therefore more area to sand.

I think he was meaning that the frame would take less sanding since the
surfaces would all be near parallel to the skin surface.

If the sides were tapered in at the bottom, there is so much 
more sanding to get the bottom longerons flat across the bottom
( crosswise ) that you need to do. Go figure, Virg

KR> SANDING SANDING SANDING

[Chris Johnston]

Find a flat board about 4 ft wide, glue on some 60 grit I think it was 
that I used, may have been finer, aluminium oxide paper, glue a vertical 
piece on the opposite side to keep your board flat and true, let dry and 
sand the whole width of the fuse, from front to back, one section at a time, 
should take no more than three hours to do the whole fuse, that includes 
coffee brakes. Highly rcommended to wear a mask, lots of spruce dust which 
really dries the lungs and nose out. A rounded edge on the front and back 
sides of the board  stops any embarrasing catches on the edge of cross 
members and allows your board to slide easily over buildups of glue and any 
slightly misaligned cross members.
When it comes to gluing on the ply, the best thing I found was to 
position the sheet with two staples, and weigh down the sheet with house 
bricks, position the bricks so that when you get  a nice even bead of glue 
squishing out along the join/seam, then the brick is in the right place with 
the right amount of pressure, my staples were probably too small to do a 
good job, but the bricks work pretty good, good staples would probably work 
even better. After the glue starts to go tacky, stick on some rubber gloves 
and run your finger around the seam to give the glue a nice rounded fillet. 
The trick to a good glue job seems to be to have a perfectly flat and flush 
surface to glue your ply too.

 I thought that it would only take a few hours of sanding the fuselage bottom 
to fit the skin but it looks like it may take a week. My god that is a lot of 
sanding! Maybe I am just being to much of a perfectionist , my wife says I am 
anal but I just want to build the best plane I can.
