FUSELAGE
From the scraps of
paper left over, cut a
strip the length of the
sheet, about an inch
wide.
Place the
Ballast
into the
Fuselage
section, forward of the
Wings
section.
The purpose of the
Ballast
is to
balance aircraft that are otherwise tail
-heavy.
Roll the scrap of
paper up into a tight
cylinder. Apply a small
piece of tape to close
the cylinder. This
forms the “Ballast”.
Fold along
(N)
lines on both sides of
the
Fuselage
so the corresponding
tabs meet. Make inverse folds along
(H)
lines on both side of the
Fuselage
such that the two tabs stand parallel.
Place a small piece of tape across the
two
(R)
tabs to adhere.
Insert the
Wing
section under the
(N)
tabs of the
Fuselage
section. Note that the
Wing
section does not
need to be adhered
—
it can be inserted and
removed as needed to allow for more efficient
storage.
… and your model is complete! Enjoy.
