2. Pin the 1/8" die-cut balsa aft fuse side (AFS) in
position over the plan. From the 1/8" x 3/8" x 30" balsa
sticks, fit and glue three longerons to fit between the
forward fuse and the aft fuse side.
❏ ❏
3. From the 1/8" x 1/4" x 12" balsa stick, cut and glue
the side window frame to the forward center and forward
top fuselage sides.
❏ ❏
4. Use a pen to mark the location of former F-5 on
the longerons.
❏
5. Remove the fuselage side from the plans. Return to
step 1 and build the second fuselage side.
❏
6. Place the two fuse sides together and check that they
match up all the way around. If they are not identical, pin
them together and use a sanding bar to make them match.
❏
7. Lightly sand both sides of each fuselage side to remove
any excess glue.
❏
8. Lay the fuse sides next to each other so they mirror
each other. Mark one fuse side left side and one right side.
❏
9. Glue the die-cut 3/32" balsa wing saddle doublers to
the inside of both fuse sides. Align the top and front of the
doubler with the top and front of the fuse side.
❏
10. Glue the die-cut 3/32" balsa lower fuse doublers to
the inside of both fuse sides. Align the bottom and front of
the doubler with the bottom and front of the fuse sides.
