Glue Fuselage Structure 

Glue fuselage structure in place. Structure components are marked with numerals to indicate 
their position; 

​

I 

​

being the most forward, 

​

II

​

 being the middle segment and 

​

III

​

 being the furthest 

rear.  

 

Glue Rudder and Elevator 

Glue together rudder and elevator segments. Then glue the segments to the horizontal and 
vertical stabilizer using CA hinge material. Strips cut to .2in by .6in should work well for this.
