❏
Cut out a piece of 2mm birch plywood for the rear cockpit bulkhead. See Drawing No.
315. The rear bulkhead should fit inside the 10x10 rectangular or triangular strips just
installed. Because of the installation of the 1mm inside fuselage skin, this bulkhead will
have to be trimmed to allow clearance for the inside skin.
❏
If inverted tank is to be installed, install the required framing on the forward face of frame
No. 7. See Drawing No. 121. The inverted header tank is 7” in diameter.
Fuselage Frame No. 8
❏
If not already done, draw W.L. 0 and the aircraft centerline on the two fuselage frames No.
8. Be particularly careful to draw the aircraft centerline on the the horizontal brace, since
this will be needed in the construction of the battery box (see Drawing No. 320).
Figure 37
❏
Clamp the two frames No. 8 together and drill the twelve 1/4ӯ holes for the bolts. Install
the bolts to clamp the frames together. Locate the “ten o'clock” and “two o'clock” holes at
B.L. 270—this will solve some interference problems. Locate the “four o'clock” and “eight
o'clock” holes at B.L. 276. All of the holes should be centered on the lamination.
❏
If not already done, add a single 3mm strip of spruce to the forward frame to allow for
sanding to the taper of the fuselage.
