D 7. Test fit the nose side sheets in place and
sand them if required to get a good fit. Glue the top
edge of the side sheet to the middle stringer and
the center sheet. Do not attempt to bend the
sheeting into place yet.
D 11. The sheeting around the cockpit should be
trimmed even with the side stringers and model
filler should be used to fill in around the instrument
panel so dirt will not get into the canopy after the
model is finished.
D 8. Thoroughly dampen the outside of the nose
sheeting with water and allow it to soak in for about
5 minutes or so before proceeding.
D 12. Trim and sand the front of the three nose
sheets even with the front of the fuse sides.
D 9. Use several strips of tape to hold the
sheeting down into place against the fuse side.
Trim the front of the nose side sheeting even with
the end of the fuse side.
D 13. Install the 3/16" turtle deck stringers by
cutting them from the 3/16" sq. x 24" balsa sticks
(SKY6F26) and gluing them to formers F3, F4
and F5.
D 10. Line up a metal straight edge with the top of
the fuse side (not the doubler) at both the front and
aft ends of the side sheeting. Carefully trim the
sheeting so it will sit neatly against the fuselage
doubler. Trim the aft end of the side sheeting even
with the front of F3. Gently lift the sheeting up and
apply a bead of thick CA along the side stringer,
the firewall, former F2 and the fuse doubler, and
press the sheeting down into place. Use plenty of
tape to hold the sheeting while the glue cures.
D 14. Cut a piece of 1/16" x 3/8" x 30" balsa stick
(SKY6W24) to fit between the formers F3 and F5.
Now cut this strip down the middle to form two
pieces approximately 1/16" x 3/16" x 13-1/4".
These are "shims" and are used to correctly
position the turtle deck sheeting. Sand one end of
each shim until it is approximately 1/32" thick. The
thin end will be the front of each shim.
