HATCH ASSEMBLY:
67) Laminate one piece of C1 to C2 with the bottom edges
flush.
68) Attach all pieces of C1 and C1/C2 to the hatch floor. Attach
two pieces of C4 behind C2 as shown in Photo 49.
69) Insert a 4-40 nut into the hole at the front of the hatch floor,
another into the hole in one C3, and a magnet into the hole
in another C3.
70) Bevel the bottom edges of the hatch sides so that they are flush against the top of the fuselag. Place the
hatch on the fuselage, then position the hatch side panels in place and glue. Refer to Photos 50 and 51.
71) Sand the top sides of the hatch so they are straight across.
Attach the top front section and canopy top. Sand the edges
of these to bring them flush into the fuselage.
72) Fit and glue the C3 containing the nut into the back end of
the hatch. This will require some beveling with the sanding
block in order to make a good fit. Sand the bottom to ensure
a flat area to mate to the fuselage. Refer to Photo 53.
73) Fit the C3 containing the magnet into the corresponding part
of the fuselage. When you are ready to glue it in, put a
small sheet of clear plastic kitchen wrap between the two
C3’s. The magnet
will hold it tightly in
place. When you
glue, it will not stick
the hatch to the
fuselage.
