.
13. Sand a taper on the inside edges of the tailpost and then glue the rear of the fuselage together.
14.
Cut and glue the 3/32" sq. cross pieces into position.
15.
Glue F-11 and F-12 into position.
16.
Glue the three 1/16" sq. stringers into position on the top rear fuselage.
17.
Glue the two F-15's to the front of the fuselage.
18.
Glue the two F-16's to the front of F-15.
19.
Glue two NB-1's and two NB-2's together to make the removable nose block.
20.
Press the removable nose block into position and sand the nose to the shape shown on the plan.
21.
Carefully drill the removable nose block to accept the 1/4" nylon propeller bearing. Be sure to add the proper amount of
down and right thrust when drilling the hole.
Building the Lower Wings
22.
Cut the 3/32" x 3/16" spar to length and pin to the plan.
23.
Pin L-3 into position on the plan.
24.
Pin L-1 into position. Use the dihedral gauge to establish the proper angle and glue L-1 to the spar and L-3.
25.
Glue all of the L-2's 1nto position 90 degrees to the building board.
26.
Glue the 3/32" sq. leading edge into position.
27.
Place L-4 into position with the outboard edge raised 3/32" from the building board and glue into position.
28.
Glue the two 1/16" sq. strips into position on the top of the wing.
29.
Glue the 3/32" sq. strips to the L-2 rib at the locations where the "N" struts will later be attached.
30.
Remove the wing from the plan and sand the leading edge round, taper the trailing edge and sand the wing smooth.
31.
Build the opposite lower wing as you did the first.
NOTE: Test fit the lower wings to the fuselage at this time. Sand the bottoms of the inboard ends of the spars flush with the
bottom of the fuselage.
Building the Top Wing
32.
Pin the two T-1 spars to the plan and join them by gluing T-1A into position.
33.
Pin the assembled top spar into position on the top wing plan. The middle of the spar between the two T-5 ribs will be
resting on the plan. The tips of the spars will be raised an equal amount from the plan on each side.
34.
Pin the two T-3's to the plan.
35.
Glue T·2 into position between the two T-3's.
36.
Glue the two T-4's and T·4A into position.
37.
Glue the two T-5's into position.
38.
Glue the 1/8" sq. leading edge into position between the two T-5's.
