22 Install one ¼” magnet into the hole provided
in fuselage hatch latch plate (FLHP). Install
and glue FLHP into the notches provided in
the fuselage sides as well as F2.
Cut a piece of ½” triangle stock and install
and glue it into the notch provided at the
windshield location.
Install and glue the windshield (WS) above
the triangle stock just installed.
Next you will assemble the front hatch. Glue
both FHA-H rails to the front hatch (FHC)
in the notches provided. Check the polarity
of the magnet in FLHP to be sure they will
attract and glue it into the hole provided in
FHC. Cut two 3-3/4” lengths of ¼” square
basswood and glue one at the front and one at
the back of the inside of the hatch to stiffen it.
Place the hatch in position on the fuselage and
glue on a 4-1/2” length of 1” triangle stock to
complete the hatch/windshield area.
The finished bottom hatch hinge assembly installed on the fuselage.
Note that the hinge pin is stowed in the keeper slot at the left side
of the hinge.
Locate the four plywood discs (BNP) and
four #8-32 blind nuts. Use a #8 x 1-1/2” bolt
to pull the blind nuts into BNP and glue them
at the locations indicated on the plans. These
will be the wing catch bolts. Refer to the pho-
to on page 18 to identify the correct locations
for the nut plates.
Test fit the stabilizer plate (SP) in the tabs at
the tail of the fuselage. With the fuselage flat
on the bench, make sure that SP is parallel to
the bench and glue it on.
The forward hatch assembly shown here with the hatch hook rails
installed and some 1/4” square lateral bracing.
Flip the fuselage assembly over and glue on
the tail wheel mount (TWM).
Install and glue all remaining fuselage form-
ers starting with F4. Placing one side in the
notches provided, spreading the stringers
slightly and then tipping the remaining side
into place works best for this. Secure each one
with clamps as necessary until the glue has
cured. F8 will install from the top.

30 Cut three 4-1/2” lengths of 1/8” x ¼” bass-
wood and install them into the notches pro-
vided in the fuselage opening for the wing bar
guides.
