■ ■
Install the vertical fin. Insert the rudderpost into the
rudderpost slot. Tilt the fin forward until it rests on the
top surface of the stab.
■ ■
Check that the assembly is square, using a 900
triangle.
■ ■
Permanently glue the fin to the stabilizer and fuselage.
32.
■ ■
Glue the ply “BACKUP” pieces to the stab on each side
of the fin.
33.
■ ■
Slide the 1/32” ply turtledeck around the fin.
■ ■
With a water spray bottle, liberally soak the top
centerline of the turtledeck. This will allow the plywood
to be formed without splitting.
■ ■
Wrap the ply around the formers and down onto the
fuselage sides. Sand the sides for a smooth fit.

■ ■
When satisfied with the fit, apply glue to the formers,
fuselage sides, fin and stab.
■ ■
Quickly wrap the plywood down to the fuselage and
tape in place until dry.
35.
■ ■
Bevel the plywood edge at the fuselage lap-joint and
sand the edge flush with the slant former. Fill the step
with CGM Model Magic filler.
■ ■
Apply additional filler to the fin and stabilizer seams and
blend to create a smooth transition.
36.
■ ■
Go over the fuselage, sanding all seams and joints with
medium sandpaper. Then, sand the entire fuselage
with fine grit sandpaper. The effort you put into finish
sanding will show, as no covering material will hide a
poor sanding job!
■ ■
Now go back to all of the built-up parts to inspect the
sturdiness of joints and to finish sand. When satisfied
with the finish, the aircraft is ready for covering.
