Step 15
Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the corners for the opening on
the bottom of the fuselage using the template as a guide.
Step 16
Remove the template from the fuselage. Use a hobby knife
and #11 blade to cut through the wood on the bottom of
the fuselage using the marks on the bottom of the fuselage
as a guide. Work slowly to not let the knife slip and cut
more than necessary.
Step 17
The air exit should be easily lifted from the fuselage once the
wood has been cut through. Use a sealing iron to seal the
covering if you find it loose after cutting the opening.
