The fuselage
•
Remove the fuselage formers T01 to T08 from the machine-cut sheets,
and write the part numbers on them using a soft pencil.
•
Repeat the procedure with the central fuselage plate T09. The whole
fuselage structure is based on this part.
•
The fuselage side frames are assembled from parts T12 and T12a.
•
Glue full-length 3 x 3 mm balsa strips to the inside of the fuselage side
frames T12 top and bottom; keep the strips exactly flush with the
outside edge of the side frames. If you are unsure, fit the fuselage
formers ‘dry’ (no glue) to check the fits.
•
Glue the formers T04 and T05 to the central fuselage plate T09: take
care not to mix up the front and rear ends of this part; the drawings
clearly show the correct orientation.
•
The central fuselage plate can now be glued to one side frame T12
together with the former T06.
•
Sand the outside of this assembly flat, so that it can rest flat on the building board. Lay the assembly on the building
board, and pin it down so that it cannot shift.
