Build the right fuselage side (note that the parts for each side are identical, take care to build
opposite sides!):
Glue the upper fuselage section to the lower section. The parts notch together.
Glue the upper doubler section to the lower section. The parts notch together.
Glue the doubler to the inside section of the fuselage, make sure all sides are aligned properly.
Reference the plan and photos for clarification.
Glue the nose doubler in place. Note that there is to be a gap between the nose doubler and fuse
doubler, this allows the nose to be angled inward during final assembly.
Assemble the fuselage:
Insert formers F3 (light ply) and F4 (balsa)
into the slots of one fuselage side. Refer
plan for locations. Note that F3 has “Front”
laser cut into one face, this face should face
the front of the plane because it will set the
thrust angle of the motor mount. F4 has
“Back” laser cut into one face, this face
should face the tail. Check to make sure the
formers are square to the fuselage side and
glue into place. Install the second fuselage
side on the formers, check to make sure the
sides are properly aligned and glue into
place.
Glue 1/64” ply reinforcement M7 to front of
F3. There are lines engraved into F3 for
alignment.
Insert former F5 into place, check fuselage alignment and glue F5.
