11. Using the marks made earlier on the
fuselage sides, cut the sheeting to accommodate
the wing struts. Start by making the openings
small, then carefully enlarge the holes until the
struts will fit.
❏
12. Glue the die-cut 1/8" [3.2mm] plywood
former F6B
into position on the back of F6A.
Glue the laser-cut 1/8" [3.2mm] balsa
former
F8B
into position. Position, but
do not glue
the die-cut 1/8" [3.2mm] balsa former F7B on
top of the fuselage. Insert the 1/4" x 1/4" [6.4 x
6.4mm] balsa stick left over from step 3 into the
notches of the three formers. Using a straightedge,
adjust the position of F7B until the stringer is
straight. Glue F7B into that position. Glue the
stringer into the notches of the formers.
❏
13. Use the four remaining 1/8" x 1/4" [3.2 x
6.4mm] balsa sticks left over from step 3 and

balsa sticks to make the stringers that run from
F6B to F8B and glue them into position.

wing
dowels
in the bottom wing. You may permanently
glue them in now with 30-minute epoxy, or wait
until after the wing is covered (which is the way

manual). Fit the bottom wing into the fuse.
Place weights on the wing to hold it down.
