This was the hardest gluing job I did to date.
I glued both sides of the fuselage with the cockpit longeron doublers in place. I dropped the sides on the floor of the garage a couple times, got glue all over my hands, slipped the clamps a few time, and finally got everything in place with about every bar clamp I own.
As a former Naval Aviator I was told a thousand times – maybe- that engineers “over-engineer” their designs. I hope this is true of Bud Evans with his VP 1 design. I have extra glue in places where I will have to sand or chip off later and places where I have no idea if enough glue worked its way into the cracks. I did my best and searched for missed areas and carefully measured and “eyeballed” the mix of T88 glue to a 1:1 mix.
