..... It is important to note that if you modify either your Seatback
Bulkhead angle (see Chapter B) or Instrument panel location, or if you
are wider and bigger than normal in the hips, you may wish to change
the geometry of the pieces somewhat. If that is the case, wait until
later to make these pieces.
INSTRUMENT PANEL
..... The template provided for the instrument panel on Appendix Sheet
3 is intended to be used with the 1/8" thick aircraft quality plywood
provided with the kit. It is suggested that the panel not be mounted
in the fuselage permanently until cutouts for all instrument panel
gauges, radios, and equipment have been made. It will at times be
useful to install the panel temporarily with Bondo to assist in
jigging parts of the fuselage.
PLYWOOD PARTS
..... In this section, you will construct the following pieces:
firewall, LG4, CSI0, CSI9, CS22, BS2, and BS3. All parts are
constructed from 1/411 Marine grade plywood. See Appendix Sheet 3 for
the full size template drawings, which can be pasted on the plywood
itself. As indicated previously, the writing on the template drawings
can be read when the part is right side up. Also, the drawings
indicate the number of each piece to be made.
ALUMINUM PARTS
..... On Appendix Sheet 2, you will find the full size template for
the 0.125" thick 2024T3 Aluminum supplied. Other parts, not detailed
here will be made at a later time from aluminum.
PHENOLIC BEARING BLOCK
..... On Appendix Sheet 2, you will also find the full size template
for the predrilled Phenolic bearing. block Q2CSP. Refer to the
"Introduction" of this chapter for information.
FEMALE JIGGING TEMPLATES
..... These full-size templates provide the basis for jigging the
vertical fin, fuselage, main wing, and canard. They are found on
Appendix Sheets 2, 4, and 5. Make 2 of each, except make 1 of each of
the vertical fin jigging templates.
RIGGING TEMPLATES
..... Rigging templates allow the builder to accurately rig the
ailerons, elevator, and rudder for proper travel. These full-size
templates may be found on Appendix Sheets 1 and 5; make 1 of each.
WHEEL PANT PIECES
..... On Appendix Sheets 1 and 3 you will find full size templates for
the pieces that comprise the wheel pants, including the templates to
assist in carving the shape. Thickness of LG1, the wheel pant cores,
