Now glue the piece onto the cover plate. To do center the 2mm balsa piece on
the center line with an overlap of +/- 4mm on the front of the cover plate. Put a
small once folded paper in the front part between the cover plate and the balsa
piece to get a slight angle.
Tail-Boom
You need a long ruler or square profile (ca. 1m) to correctly mount the tail-
boom!
Put the fuselage alongside the ruler and
slide the tail-boom through the openings in
spar 1 and 2. Mark the positions of the
spars on the boom with a pencil and take
the boom out again. Sand the marked
areas on the boom to get a proper glue
joint later. Put the boom back in the
fuselage and slide the 4mm plywood
mounting gauge from the back onto the boom (the arrow on the gauge must
point towards the bottom edge of
the square profile/ruler).
Now you can put the rudder into
the slot of the tail boom. Make
sure that the rudder is exact
square to the table. Now the
boom is perfectly aligned and can be
glued to the fuselage. You best use
Epoxy to do this.
The next building step is the mount of
the support pylon for the elevator.
Take the 3 needed piecses (1 x 4mm
plywood; 2 x 2mm balsa). There is an
arrow on the plywood part which must point to the nose of
your plane. Mark the nose pointing end with a pencil on top
to know the nose facing end after gluing on the 2mm balsa parts (important for
the correct angle of incidence). Now you can glue the balsa parts onto the
plywood (Super Glue) and round the front- and backside with sanding paper.
