Position the gear legs back on the fuselage. Line the axles
up parallel to each other and the same height off of the
work surface. Glue them in place.
Place the wheel on the axle and then the wheel pant. Put
a dab of glue on the end of the axle outside of the wheel
pant and then pull the pant over the glue to secure it in
place. Glue the gear strut to the back of the gear leg and
to the fuselage.
Upper Fuselage and Wing Attachment:
Glue the upper fuselage in place.
Cut two 5” llong pieces of 1mm carbon rod and glue them
as shown for the vertical stabilizer braces.
Glue the wing to the upper fuselage. When the glue is
cured place the plane up side down on your work surface.
Make 2 marks on the left wing 10.5” from the fuselage
with one 1/4” behind the leading edge and the other 1/4”
in front of the aileron hinge bevel. Repeat the marks on
the right wing.
Cut and install 1mm carbon rods from the marks on the
wing to the wing strut slot in the fuselage. Glue the rods
to the wing and when you are happy that you have the
fuselage square to the wing glue the struts to the
fuselage.
Cut 1mm carbon pieces for the wing strut braces and glue
in place. The braces are located 5” from the fuselage.
Refer to the picture below for the layout of the braces.
