8.

Install F10 Spanning F1, F2, and F3. Tack glue into position.

9.

Work the 1/16” Fuselage top deck FT1 into position spanning the fuselage sides and formers F3 / F5. I find it
easiest to bow the top deck up working the front into position then the back. Tack glue deck FT1 to fuselage
tab and notch points. Review plan sheet illustrations for more detail.

10. Install 1/16” balsa servo pocket doublers SR1, SR2, SR3c to inside of fuselage as illustrated on the plan sheet.
