Once these three conditions are met carefully pin
the jig to the R6’s each side – some packing pieces
(made from scrap) slipped between the jigs and R6
to take up the gap can be useful.
4) Trial fit each one of the cabane struts, locating
them into the ‘pockets’ at the wing/centre
section joint at R2/R5 bevelling them to meet
the fuselage side and the part K2. Do not force
the parts to fit, it will only cause the wing to shift
in the jig and ruin the geometry.
5) Once all four struts are a good fit, glue them in
position
AT THE FUSELAGE END ONLY
– DO NOT GLUE THE CABANE STRUTS
TO THE WING AT THIS STAGE
. The wing
will be glued to them after both they and the
fuselage are covered.
6) Allow the glue to set fully. Once dry carefully
un-pin the wings from the jig and remove them.
Finally remove the jigs from the fuselage sides.
7) Remove parts in the following quantities from
the laser cut sheets: 2 off each K3 and F3A.
8) On the left hand side of the fuselage side fit and
glue part K3 in position, this bridges the forward
slot in the fuselage side.
9) Glue part F3A in position, engaging it in the
slot in K3.
10) Repeat for the right hand side.
Set the fuselage aside and complete the nose block.
