MAIN CONSTRUCTION
Any reference to right or left refers to right or left as if seated in the cockpit.
1.
Fuselage Main Frame
a.
Cut the nose doublers, wing saddles,
and the tail posts from the 1/4" printed
balsa sheets.
b.
Protect the fuselage main frame drawing
on plate 1 with wax paper or plastic
wrap.
c.
Pin the long, top 1/4" sq. balsa piece to
the plan.
d.
Glue and pin in place the wing saddle,
the 1/4" sq. upright (between the wing
saddle and the nose doubler), the nose
doubler and finally the tail post.
e.
Cut and glue the remaining 1/4" sq.
pieces in place.
f.
When dry, remove the pins and build a second frame side directly on top of the first. Use wax paper or plastic wrap to keep
the two sides from sticking together.
g.
When dry, pin both main frame sides directly together and carefully even up the edges with the sanding block.
2.
Firewall
a.
The firewall is made by gluing the two die-cut 1/8" plywood F1 parts together to form a 1/4" thick piece. Use epoxy glue and
weight down flat until the glue sets up.
