Position the grooved hangar wall as shown. Note that the sides
should curve down slightly.
Glue the shorter square rods into place on the grooves, aligning
the back edges.
Use the dotted lines to position the hangar floor correctly, with
the steeper slope at the top. Test-fit the hangar floor in the space
in front of the bow elevator, aligning the stern side with the bow
side of the elevator and making sure that there is a gap of at least
2 mm around the edge. Make any adjustments necessary to
achieve this fit.
