I'm currently detailing a design with a moulded fuselage and the engine centreline, wing and stabliser all on the one line.
Al Rabe, Chris Cox and Paul Walker all split their moulds vertically but for a design with the wing at mid-fuselage, it seems to me that splitting on the horizontal centre line then cutting a bit out of upper and lower moulds to mount the wing would be easier.
Does anybody experienced with moulded fuselages think there is a problem with this approach?

If you watch his videos Al built his later models essentially top down due to his using the pocket hole fuselage former jig system.
It looks like a very good way to do it.

The more I think about Geoff's idea, the more sense it makes to me. Everything could be assembled on a very flat surface and the alignment of the wing and stab would be very easy to accomplish. Get it all perfect, and then put a lid on it! Good on ya' Geoff!

Joe Daly did a write up in Model Aviation not to long back with a similar technique, good read.
