23. Test fit, then use 30-minute epoxy to glue
the 1/4" x 1-1/2" x 5-1/8" [6.4 x 38 x 130mm]
wing bolt plate
and the 1/2" x 3/4" x 5-3/8"
basswood
forward landing gear block
into
position.
Refer to these photos for the following
five steps.
❏
1. Test fit the die-cut 1/8" [3.2mm] plywood
tank tray (TT)
in the fuselage. Cut notches in
the front of the tray to accommodate the blind
nuts in the back of the firewall.
❏
2. Glue together two pieces of leftover 1/8" x
1/4" [3.2 x 6.4mm] basswood from the wing
spars to make a 1/4" x 1/4" [6.4 x 6.4mm]
mounting rail
for the tank tray. Cut the rail to
a length of 3" [75mm]. Glue the rail to the back
of former 3 as shown on the plan.
❏
3. Drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes through the aft
end of the tank tray and the rail. Remove the
tray. Enlarge the holes in the tray only with a
3/32" [2.4mm] drill.
❏
4. Use a couple of #64 rubber bands to mount
the fuel tank to the tray with a piece of 1/4"
6.4mm] R/C foam rubber in between. Mount the
tray in the fuselage with two #2 x 3/8" [9.5mm]
screws and #2 washers.
❏
5. Drill 1/4" [6.4mm] holes through the
firewall for the fuel lines. Temporarily connect
the fuel lines to the fuel tank.
❏
1. Make four
strut mounts
from the die-cut
1/8" [3.2mm] plywood and balsa parts shown
(all labeled
“SM”
). Note that both
front
mounts are the same, but there is a
right
and
left rear
mount.
