I glued up two stacks of frames: Frame 25 - Frame 30A and Frame 31 - Frame 36. I stacked these on each other. No glue yet and I haven't started fairing the hull yet either.

Frames 25 through 30A are glued into place, but there has been no fairing of the hull yet. Frame 31 is sitting on top of the stack, not glued. It will start the second stack of...
