Construction
(continued)
17.
Fit and bond former F18 (sheet 02/08, 1/20 in. balsa) to the slots near the
center
of F1.
Fit and bond the strut doublers F19 into the notches in each side of F1, between formers F5
and F18. Make sure that the arrows on the F19s face
forward
.
18.
Locate the nose sheeting, part F20 (sheet 02/08, 1/20 in. balsa). Lightly spray the etched
side of F20 with glass cleaner and allow it to soak for a minute or two. Fit F20 (wet side
out) to the tabs at the
top
of formers F5 and F8. Wrap it over the formers until it comes into
contact with the fuselage sides. Take care when handling the corners of F20 (as they can
easily break off) until taped in place. Using low-tack masking tape, secure F20 to the
fuselage. Allow it to completely dry. When dry, remove the tape and bond F20 to the
fuselage with CA.
19.
Motor Mount -
Lay F21 (sheet 08/08, 1/32 in. ply) on the work surface, with the etched
“Top” side facing
up
. Fit the two F22s (sheet 08/08, 1/32 in. ply) to the
rear
slots in F21.
Note: That the front of parts F22 will not contact F21.
This gap allows the mounting
tabs (on the motor) to slide under parts F22. Bond with CA.
20.
Fit and bond F23 (sheet 08/08, 1/32 in. ply) to the long tabs at the
front
of each F22.
21.
Turn the assembly
upside down
. Fit and bond two F24s (sheet 08/08, 1/32 in. ply) to the
front
slots in F21.
Pro Builder Tip:
To ensure a perfect fit, always remove and sand smooth the attachment
points/nubs on the laser-cut plywood parts.
22.
Fit the completed motor mount assembly to the
front
of former F5, and bond with CA.
23.
Engine Cowling -
Turn the fuselage
upside down
. Fit part F25 (sheet 07/08, 1/8 in. balsa)
to the tabs at the
bottom
of each F24. Bond with CA.
24.
Fit and bond F26 (sheet 07/08, 1/8 in. balsa) to the tabs extending through part F23, at the
front
of the motor mount assembly.
