B1 Assembly
1.
Join the FS-2 and FS-2a using a straight edge along the top of
these parts.
2.
When ready to make up the other side, assemble it right on top of
the first side thus assuring that both sides are exactly the same.
Use wax paper between the sides so they do not glue together.
3.
Check to make sure both sides are exactly the same.
4.
Glue the FS-3 to the bottom of FS-2 – FS-2a assembly. Use a
straight edge at the bottom of FS-2a when sliding the FS-3 into
position. Check wing saddle to be sure it matches. Again, lay the
next side onto completed one and install FS-3.
5.
Install the 3/4” triangle to B-1. Use a square to block B-1 to insure
the tri-piece is flush to B-1. Draw a centerline down B-1. Now lay
the tri-piece on B-1. It should be flush, almost back to the outward
notches. Now the tri-piece should meet on the centerline at the
rear. After both pieces of tri-stock are in place, you can sand or
cut off excess tri-stock making sure it is flush with B-1. Make sure
you don’t cut or sand off the outward notches.
6.
Now take angle brace F-6A and at each former location, make a
mark up the sides of the tri-stock. (The marks should slant
towards rear B-1) Now with a knife, make a cut 1/8” wide by 1/8”
deep at each of the marked locations. Now you should have a slot
that each of the formers should fit in. Also at the correct angle.
Nose Assembly
Note: It is important that you keep F-2C very straight during assembly.
So check F-2C throughout assembly.
1.
Install the F-2 firewall to the F-2C at 90 degrees. You should
have your centerlines drawn on the firewall.
2.
Slide the F-2 is 90 degrees to F-2C. F-23 should also be flush
with the back of F-2C. Make sure you sand it flush and at 90
degrees before you install F-3.
3.
Install F-1’s and F-3 next. Everything should be 90 degrees
w/F-2C
4.
Install F-1A’s
5.
Install F-T
