Completing Construction
Glue ventral fins in place. It is recommended
that you faintly draw the outline on the fuse
and then drill a number of attach holes for the
glue to use to “pin” the fin securely in place.
Make sure the fins are positioned at equal
angles. Use a straightedge as shown to check
for equal spacing on both sides.
Install the aft fuse strake, attaching with two
bolts from underneath the fuse.
Glue the pitot tubes to the forward fuse on
either side of the cockpit.
Reattach the engine covers.
Tape or use a flexible cement to install glare
shield in cockpit. Install pilot in tub if desired,
and drop tub into place.
Check the fit of the canopy and adjust as
needed.
