Once the longerons are set, pins are used to lock the fuselage sides in place on the
workbench surface and 1/16” x 1/2" balsa strips are added to the outside of the 1/4”
square longerons. This creates a lip for the 1/4" square sticks that make the aft fuselage
formers. Add the vertical parts and then the diagonal parts to each side. Make pairs of
cross pieces (that complete the aft fuselage formers) using the plan as a reference.
•
Stand the fuselage sides up over the plan. Starting at the rear, add cross pieces and
work forward pinning and clamping while keeping sides flat on the workbench.
