together. Glue the die-cut 3-ply former F2A to the front of
former F2. Align the two 1/4" [6.4mm] holes and the two
notches. The top of F2 and F2A do not align.

5. Position the seven die-cut 1/8" [3.2mm] balsa fuse

them together and use a sanding bar to make them match.

10. Lightly sand both sides of each fuselage side to
remove any excess glue.

11. Lay the fuse sides next to each other so they mirror
each other. Mark one fuse side left side and one right side.
