SHEET THE TOP
LINE UP WITH THE WING
❏
1. Mount the wing to the fuse. Using 3/32" x 3" x
30" balsa sheeting, sheet the top of the fuse with
the grain running ACROSS the fuse, not lengthwise.
Note:
Do not glue the wing to the fuse. Save the
leftover sheeting for the front deck.
❏
2. Assemble the fuel tank. Mount the tank to the
die-cut 1/8" ply tank floor with foam and rubber
bands.
Note:
The front of the tank floor has the
right thrust in it to match the firewall, so make sure
to mount the tank on the correct side of the tray.
❏
3. Glue the tank floor, with the tank attached, in
place in the fuse.
❏
4. Attach the fuel lines to your tank and route
them through the firewall.
Note:
You may have go
up through the front deck plate with the carburetor
line. If so, run the line now, then cut the deck plate
as needed during its installation to allow for the
fuel line.
❏
5. Glue the die-cut 1/8" ply front deck plate in place.
❏
6. Glue the die-cut 1/8" ply bulkhead 2 and the
die-cut 1/8" ply instrument panel (IP) perpendicular
to the front deck plate.
