2. Glue the 5.5 x 146mm [7/32" x 5-3/4"] fuselage tube

doubler over the 3 x 726mm [1/8" x 28-1/2"] fuselage tube.
One end should be flush. From now on, this assembly will
be referred to as the fuselage tube.

❏ 

3. Slide a fuselage joiner (E2), two fuselage servo

mounts (F3), and another fuselage joiner onto the fuselage
tube. With the tube doubler forward and the servo mounts
hanging down, the front servo mount should have its flat
surface on the left, and the rear servo mount should have its
flat surface on the right.

❏ 

4. Position the servo mounts and fuselage joiners so that they

align with the precut slots in the upper vertical fuselage half.

❏ 

5. Glue the fuselage tube to the upper vertical fuselage half.

❏ 

6. Glue the left and right horizontal fuselage halves to the

fuselage tube. Make sure they are perpendicular to the
upper vertical fuselage.

❏ 

7. Glue the stabilizer into position with the leading edge

of the stab butted against the rear fuselage joiner. Align the
notches in the stab with the fuselage tube.

❏ 

8. Glue the wing into position with the leading edge of the

wing against the rear end of fuselage doubler tube. Align the
notches in the wing with the fuselage tube.

❏ 

9. Glue the lower vertical fuselage half to the fuselage

tube. Make sure to keep it parallel with the upper half and
perpendicular to the horizontal fuselage.
