VERTICAL FIN INSTALLATION
The wing bolt plate assembly and the servo
tray will square the entire fuselage as-
sembly when the tabs enguage the notches
provided in the fuselage sides.
The hatch hold down block (HH) has
been installed and is visable through the
lightening hole in F5-A. Use a #6-32 tap
in the plywood block and then harden it
with thin CA.
The outer formers have been added to
the fuselage sides and the skins are about
to be added. Both the top and bottom
forward sections are sheeted with 3/32”
balsa over the 1/4” sq. stringers.
The hatch is constructed on the wing with
the wing in position on the fuselage. Note
the 1/64” ply wing joiner. Next the cheek
cowels will be added and shaped to match
the fiberglass cowl.
