Fuselage (
continued)
9.
Fit the
rear
landing gear former, part F10 (sheet 07/08, 1/32 in. ply) behind F9. Use the
same slot and notch occupied by F9 and F4.
10.
Fit the fuselage side F11a (sheet 03/08, 1/16 in. balsa) to the
left
side of the fuselage crutch
assembly. Square the fuselage on a flat surface, and “tack glue” together with medium CA.
11.
Fit the
forward
fuselage doubler, part F11b (sheet 05/08, 3/32 in. balsa) to the
front
of the
fuselage assembly. Slide the slot in F8b over F7. Make sure that the
rear
of F11b is
completely seated against former F4 and the fuselage side F11a. “Tack glue” F11b to both
former F4 and the fuselage side F11a.
12.
Fit and “tack glue” the
rear
fuselage former F12 to the slots in the fuselage sides behind F5.
13.
Bring the
rear
of the fuselage sides together, and fit part F13 (sheet 03/08, 1/16 in. balsa) to
the notches along the
top
edge of the
rear
fuselage sides. “Tack glue” with medium CA.
14.
Assemble the fuselage
top
sheeting by fitting parts F14a, F14b, and F14c (sheet 03/08,
1/16 in. balsa) together. Bond with CA.
15.
Fit the completed F14 assembly into the notches along the
top
of the fuselage. “Tack glue”
where necessary.
Pro Builder Tip:
If forming F14 around the curves of the fuselage proves difficult, moisten
the outside of the part with glass cleaner. Allow it to soak in for a minute or two. The F14
assembly should now be pliable and follow the curves of the fuselage.
16.
Turn the fuselage over and fit part F15 (sheet 02/08, 1/16 in. balsa) to the
bottom
of the
fuselage
front
. Make sure that F15 follows the curve of the fuselage. Bond with medium
CA.
Ensure that no glue enters the landing gear pocket.
