Assemble the wings, elevators and rudders to the fuselage (Refer to Figure 7) .
A
Attach the wings to the fuselage frames.
(1) Attach the rib doubler of the left fuselage frame (F1) to the inboard face of the outboard pilot
support rib of the lower wing.
(2) Attach the rib doubler of the right fuselage frame (F2) to the inboard face of the outboard
engine support rib of the lower wing.
(3) Attach the rib doubler (W6) to the outboard face of the inboard pilot support rib of the lower
wing.
(4) Attach the rib doubler (W7) to the outboard face of the inboard engine support rib of the lower
wing.
(5) Attach the two fuselage spars (F6) to the two skids of the fuselage frames.
B
Attach the elevator to the fuselage frames (Refer to Figure 7, Detail B).
Cut diagonal struts here, to release them from the vertical strut.
(2) Carefully bend each diagonal strut away until it is possible to slide the elevator onto the vertical
struts of the fuselage.
(1)
(3) Slide the lower elevator over the vertical struts of the fuselage frames, and attach these vertical
struts to the spar of the upper elevator with 5-minute epoxy adhesive.
(4) Bend the diagonal struts back to their original positions, and fill the cuts with 5-minute epoxy
adhesive.
C
Install the rudder assembly
(1) Attach the rudder support (F4) to the skids of the two fuselage frames.
(2) Fit the rudder assembly between the upper and lower fuselage braces, and attach it.
