sides to the motor mount F13, the
front
portion of F8, and formers F6, F11, and F15.
17. Pull the sides together and tack glue to F1, the
rear
portion of F8, and formers F6 and F7.
18. Turn the assembly up side down and fit former F17 Sheet 02/10, 1/16 in. balsa) to the slots
in crosspiece F1b. Pull the sides together, and bond to the rest of F1 and former F17.
19. Fit the stabilizer saddle F18 (sheet 01/10, 1/16 in. balsa) to the
rear
of the fuselage sides,
directly behind F1. Square the assembly on a flat surface, and bond all parts together with

Landing Gear Pocket -
Turn the assembly up side down. Fit part F19 (sheet 09/10, 1/32
in. ply) into the angled notches in the fuselage sides, and the pair of slots in F8. The
notches in the fuselage sides are oversized to accommodate the other parts of the landing
gear pocket. F19 will occupy the
front
portion of the notches.
Do not bond.
21. Fit F20 (sheet 09/10, 1/32 in. ply) in the same notches in the fuselage side,
flush
against the
rear
of F19.
Do not bond.
22. Fit F21 (sheet 09/10, 1/32 in. ply) in the same notches, and the single slot in F8,
immediately
behind
F20. Make sure that all three parts are fully seated, then bond them
together and to the fuselage assembly with CA.
Make sure that no glue enters the landing
gear pocket.
23.
Fuselage Bottom -
Lay F22a (sheet 03/10, 1/16 in. balsa) on the work surface, then fit and
bond F22b and F22c (sheet 02/10, 1/16 in. balsa) in place using CA.
