Step 03 – Fuselage Covering
Glue the parts below in place starting with part N – the thinner one. Then glue part M in place.
Finally glue part 5 in place. Be careful that the glue on the rear of part M doesn’t block the two
rectangular holes in the body former where the bottom hatch cover needs to fit.
For the hatch cover before you glue the magnet in place check how it attracts to the other magnet
in the fuselage so you don’t glue the magnet in the wrong way. Finally, you may need to trim or
sand the hatch cover and the holes in the fuselage where the locating tabs fit to allow it to fit
more easily. Also use some scrap balsa to strengthen in by gluing on cross supports against the
grain (the gap in the middle is required to clear the spar in the fuselage)
