99. Slip the fan mounting rails FM1 into the slots in
bulkheads B10T and B11T, but do not glue
them in yet. Slip the fan into the hole in B10T
so the front of the fan is flush with the glue
joint between FD1 and B10T. (Photo 114)
NOTE: The model shown in photos 114 and
1135 were taken of the original F-106
prototype. These photos are used here only to
depict the installation of the fan mounting rails
and aft inlet duct.
100. Cut the aft inlet duct from 100# smooth Bristol
paper using the template provided on the
plans. Pre-curl the duct by dragging it across
the sharp corner at the edge of a desk or
workbench. Fit it into the holes in FD1 and
B10T. The aft edge of the duct should be flush
against the front of the fan unit to form a
smooth transition. When you’re satisfied, glue
the duct to B9T and FD1. Glue the fan
mounting rails to B9T and B10T. Once the glue
is dry, you can remove the fan and set it aside.

101. Glue front spar doubler spacer SD1 to the
front spar doubler SD2 and the rear spar
doubler SD3 to rear spar doubler SD4. Make
sure to make one right pair and one left pair.
