ASSEMBLY

Q Q 6. From another 1/16" x 3" x 24" balsa
sheet, trim an angle on an end close to 45°, but
not quite. Test fit the piece against the first, and
make sure the sheet fully covers the forward

fuse side. Glue the sheet to the fuse side using

medium CA.

Q 1.Test fit the die-cut 1/8" ply former F2 in

place on the right fuse side. Position the tab

on the former so it faces the bottom of the

fuselage. Press it down into its slot and use a
90° triangle to keep it perpendicular to the fuse
side. Glue it in place with medium CA.

QQ7.Trim the excess sheeting from around the
fuse side. Drill the 1/4" holes made in the
fuselage sides through the 1/16" sheeting. Use

150-grit sandpaper to sand the sheeting flush

with the edges of the fuse side. Use your
sanding block or bar sander with medium (150-
grit) sandpaper to sand the sheeting smooth.

Q 2. Test fit the die-cut 1/8" ply former F3 in

place on the right fuse side. Press it down into
its slot and use a 90° triangle to keep it
perpendicular to the fuse side. Glue it in place

with medium CA.

Q 8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 for the remaining
fuse side. Make sure to make both a left
and right side.

Q 3. Position the left fuselage side onto the

formers. Use medium CA and glue the fuse side
to the formers.

Q 4.Tape a piece of wax paper or Plan Protector
over the fuselage top view on the plan.

Q 5. Test fit the die-cut 1/8" ply former F1 in

place at the front of the fuse sides. After

checking the alignment of the fuselage to the
plan, glue former F1 to the fuse sides using

medium CA.
