When I marked the scarf cuts there wasn't enough extra length to make the full 200 mm scarf. I marked it so both ends would be short by just 15 mm or so. I figured I try it out just to see if that would work out. The main problem was that the actual cuts did not match my markings. Most likely, I screwed up lining up the start of the cut, which led to an even worse mismatch. The halves aren't even close to fitting together correctly while keeping the frame the right shape. So, I'm going to toss these into the scrap pile and do both laminations over again, not so easy with the colder weather these days. You can bet I'll be more careful making the scarf cuts next time. It's such an important cut to get right due to the amount of work you have to do if you screw it up. I knew this all along, but have avoided screwing it up until this, the last fuselage frame I would have had to do it for, came along. Oh well. I did take an inventory of all the strips I have left for the fuselage laminations and it turns out that even with all my screwups, I have exactly the right number of strips left to still make all the frames, thanks to the fuselage kit from Western Aircraft having so much extra wood come along with the package.
I also joined frame #11 and glued all the structure to frame #9 today.
