Oops.

Well, this isn't good. While cutting off the nose section, my measurements were slightly off and I ended up with a double cut. It's not the end of the world, but it will add extra filling work on a project that already has enough. At this point, the tail section and nose section are removed. I've also removed a 3/8" cross section under the cockpit to shorten the overall length of the aircraft. The next step is to test-fit the new tail sections and the fit of the shortened nose section.
