Building the Tail Surfaces
1.
Cover the plan with wax paper.
2.
Build the stabilizer using parts S-1, S-2 and S-3. The remaining structure is made from 3/32" sq. balsa and 3/32" x 1/3"
balsa.
3.
Build the rudder using parts R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5. The remaining structure is made from 3/32" sq. balsa.
4.
Sand the tail surfaces smooth and round the edges. Set the tail surfaces aside until needed later.
Building the Fuselage
5.
Build the fuselage side frames over the plan using the laser cut part F-1. The remaining pieces of the side frames are made
from 3/32" sq. balsa strip.
6.
Join the left and right halves of F-2 over the plan. Glue the 3/32" sq. strip to the top as shown on the plan.
7.
Join the left and right halves of F-3 over the plan. Glue the two 3/32" sq. strips into position as shown on the plan.
8.
Glue the 3/32" sq. strips to F-4 in the position shown on the plan.
9.
Glue F-2 to the right fuselage side. The 3/32" sq. strip on F-2 should face the rear and the former should be 90 degrees to
the fuselage side.
10.
Glue F-3 and F-4 into position on the right fuselage side. The 3/32" sq. braces on the formers should face forward and the
formers should be 90 degrees to the fuselage side.
11.
Glue the left fuselage side to formers F-2, F-3 and F-4. The formers should be 90 degrees to the fuselage side.
12.
Glue F-8 into position on the front of the fuselage.
13.
Glue formers F-6 and F-7 into position.
14.
Glue F-9 and F-10 into position.
15.
Glue F-10A into position.
16.
Pull the rear of the fuselage together and glue F-21 into position. Make sure that the fuselage is not twisted and that F-21 is
vertical and not leaning left or right.
17.
Gently crack the fuselage longerons immediately behind F-4. Glue F-14 and F-15 into position and then apply glue to the
cracked area of the longerons.
18.
Glue F-16, F-17, F-18, F19 and F-20 into position.
19.
Glue F-5 Left and F-5 Right to formers F-2 and F-3. Crack the top at the horizontal score line and pull the tops into contact
with the formers and glue into position. Crack the top rear at the vertical score line and bend the aft ends of the two cabin
sides into contact with F-4 and glue into place.
20.
Glue F-22 into position.
21.
Glue the 3/32" sq. stringers into position on the top of the nose between F-5 and F-6.
22.
Glue the 3/32" sq. stringers into position on the bottom of the nose between F-5 and F-10.
23.
Glue the 3/32" sq. stringers into position on the top rear fuselage between F-14 and F-20.
24.
Glue F-11 into position.
25.
Bend the landing gear wire to the shape shown on the plan.
