Fuselage 

Start by gluing together boom and fuse_5. Boom should protrude 4 cm from the fuse_5 part. Apply 
glue from the tail side of the wing. fuse_5 part has tiny channels for glue to soak in along the boom.

Second step is to attach fuse_4 part to the protruding boom. Make sure that all 4 fuse spar leading 
holes are aligned correctly and secure it to the carbon boom with glue.

Then insert 2 pieces of 2x1_518 into top fuse spar channels of fuse_4 all the way in up to fuse_5 
and 2 pieces of 2x1_535 into bottom spar channels of fuse_4 all the way in up to fuse_5. Apply the 
glue from inner side of fuse_1 everywhere, where fuse spars are visible from the inside of the 
fuselage. Let the glue leak further into places which are hard to reach. 

It can happen that spar leading holes are too tight and it is difficult to insert carbon spars into them. 
One option is to use ordinary bicycle steel spoke (2mm thick). Cut the head and the thread off, 
make some kind of sharp edge and mount it into a drill. This way you can drill through all spar 
leading holes to remove all printing imperfections. Another option is to use metal cable which you 
can straighten and use in the drill. 

Insert 2x1_68 spars into fuse_4 and secure them with the glue.

Continue with rest of fuselage parts. Always put each part in its position and only then apply the 
glue from inner side.

When all fuse parts (fuse_5 ... fuse_0) are glued together, pre-drill screw holes on servo plate holder
and insert it into fuse_2. Lead 2x1_45 and 2x1_48 spars through side holes in fuse_2 and holes in 
servo holder plate. Apply the glue from inside of the fuselage to secure servo plate holder and its
