I am not sure if were are following these guidelines though

Panels of the fuselage will be placed on a frame with smooth edges and corners.
Frame was completed following the fuselage CAD model shape and measurements.
...
The frame will be adjusted to the dimensions of the new airframe once it has been redesigned.
Once the frame gets redesigned it will split into multiple parts to be 3D printed.

Added the fuselage design into the main assembly of the plane. Its mated to the center of the plane with each of its “planes” parallel so it should be symmetric with the frames axis.
The Fuselage is a sketch in the x-y plane that is extruded so if any changes to the frame are made then this “sketch3” can be adjusted to accommodate these changes
Cutouts for the camera and the front motor mount have been made but other cuts should be made for the landing gear
At the moment the fuselage is quite “blocky” due to manufacturing constraints and the use of foam boards further ideas can be explored to make the fuselage more aerodynamic

Updated fuselage so it accommodates the new wing spacing, also created a cutout for the landing gear
It seems like the frame/body is a bit wider than the wing spacing which is creating that interference seen below
...
In terms of mounting the fuselage onto the frame I was thinking that we could use the pre-existing mounting holes for the wing and the body highlighted in my yellow screen shot
