The disc (26) serves as a
template. First round off the
fuselage edges with the
balsa plane, then with the
coarse-grained side of the
sanding block (54).
Make sure that the left and
right sides are evenly
rounded by removing the
cover (2). Lower the holes in
the bulkhead (4) and (26) for
the screws (18).
The figure on the left shows
the finished and sanded
upper side of the fuselage.
Please note that there is still
3 mm contact surface at the
tail end for the rudder. In the
area of the wing support,
grind the fuselage so far that
the upper edge of the fuse-
lage side parts (15) and (16)
is only approx. 0.5 mm wide.
If the fuselage is optimally
shaped this has two positive
effects, on the one hand it
has a low air resistance and
on the other hand, the fuse-
lage weight is reduced sig-
nificantly. The fuselage
retains its good stability even
when rounded.
Assembly step 11
Glue and fix the tail parts as
shown. Bevel the front edge
of the elevator (29) at the
bottom by about 30 °, mak-
ing sure that the slot for the
rudder horn (33) is on the
left side.
Round the front edges of
rudder and elevator using
the grinding block, not the
end edges.
