Figured it out.

Well, while the epoxy was drying, I decided on a plan. Since I have a hole in the vertical balsa that braces the back of the vertical fin, I enlarged it significantly so I could get some tools in, and the epoxy.

I’ll patch the hole up after everything is cured.

Belly pan is fitted.

After a ton of griding, sanding, cussing, etc., I finally got the belly pan to match the contour of the rest of the fuse and wing. It started off pretty good on the front, but the back was off by a good quarter inch.

Well, after all this, I will have a bit of filling and a small fillet to build on each side, but it’s in and the epoxy is curing. We’ll see how it comes out tomorrow.
