strips to match the plan, hold in shape with weights or pins until dry. Glue the perpendicular stringers and cut and glue the
remaining stringers.
Now, lay out and glue K parts as per the plan. Slip on the keel all B parts, but do not glue. B-1 will be perpendicular to the
keel and should align with the most forward edge of the framework. Check that the remainder of the B parts align onto the
framework and that the overall length of the keel terminates at the joined sides. Lightly sand the upper and lower sides of
the framework. Now, glue the adjusted keel and B parts in place. After set, trim and taper the keel supports and set in place,
noting that the lower portion should be blunt and not pointed. Sand flat the bottom of the keel, the B parts and the support.
Then glue o the keel skid strip. The forward end of the strip may need to be wetted to bend. Add the two long 5*8mm
(3*5cm for the 155cm version). At the end, glue R7 in place.
Cut and fit ballast box BB1 and BB2 (not included in the short kit), glue in place as well as BB3. Using a square, glue K5 into
the upper slot in T3. Mark now K5 at 26cm (17cm for the 155 cm version) from the inside of T3 and glue T4 square too. Glue
this assembly onto the top of the assembly as per plan. Glue now the remainder of the T parts as per plan. Carefully bevel
the mating edges of C-T to each other and glue on the top of K5 and T3. The rear of each CT must fit flush with the rear of T4.
Square of about12 cm from one edge of a 60 cm long 8*8mm strip. Then square of about 15 cm from the opposite edge at
the other end. (5*5mm,8cm, 40 cm and 10 cm for the 155 cm version). Place on the rear of K5 and in the Vees of the T parts.
You may need to soak the strip to conform the curve. Add the rear 8*20mm strips (6*15mm for the 155 cm version)to the
sides of the T parts, as shown on the plan. When set, sand flat.
Add the two spars to the sides of the T parts and add the uprights in the area below the wing. Glue in place T1 and T2 and
the dowel between T2 to the forward end of CT. Cover T1 and T2 with 2mm sheet as per plan (1.5mm for the 155cm
version). Glue in the vertical dowel at B1, the glue and sand the blocks. It’s the right time to think at the installation of the
radio, as forward as possible.
3.
Horizontal stabilizer.
Using the plan, connect together the assemblies (S4, S3 and S2 on a flat surface. Glue in place the long 18*6mm spar(12*3
mm for the 155cm version) then the rear rib halves. Sand and taper the rear edges to the S assemblies and the spar. It’s a
good idea to reinforce the centre between the two half elevators.
Put now the other spar on the plan, glue the front ribs halves S11 to S13, put S1 without gluing it then an overly long square
leading edge, using S1 as a jig. When set, glue S1 and sand the end of the leading edge to the right dimension. Repeat on the
other side, but don’t glue the leading edges together now. Slide S10 in place. Trim to fit, then sans about 4cm (3cm for the
155 version) inside the leading edge, and glue S10 and the two gussets G. Sand, round, bevel as needed before covering.
4.
Fin and rudder
Lay out and join R1 toR3 over the plan. Glue R8 in place, and then install the square ribs. Sand the leading edge to airfoil
section. Glue R5 and R6 to R4 and sand to airfoil, tapering to the rear.
