❏
On the forward and aft faces of fuselage frame No. 5, install 15x15 spruce blocks as shown
in Figure 48. These blocks will support the upper wing skin where it has to be cut out for
the fuselage frame. Before installing the spruce blocks, cut them to an angle to match that
of the upper wing skin in the center.
❏
Cut and fit the upper wing skin between wing Sta. 1 and the outboard seat support. See
Figure 50. This skin must be soaked in water and clamped in place.

holes through fuselage frame No. 6 and the gluing strip on the aft face for the outboard
seat belt fittings. See Drawing No. 123.
