SE5A - MAIN PARTS AND FRAMES BUILDING SCHEDULE
THE FUSELAGE
At this point the major side pieces of the fuselage should be very carefully handled as before the various stiffeners and other
structural parts are added they are reasonably delicate and should be handled with care.
1) Preparing all of the parts: Identify and remove all of the parts on
the laser cut sheets: 2 off K1, 2 off K2 F1, F2, F3, F4, F5 and F6.
4) Referring to the plan, add light 1.6mm square strips to the major
fuselage side pieces K1 at the F7 and F8 positions , along with parts
K2 which should be flush to the top edge. Leave to set.
3) Glue parts K2 in position on each fuselage side, noting that it
ends before the notch at the F5 position, and should be flush to the
top edge.
2) Pin the two fuselage sides K1 down onto the board so they are
‘mirrored’ (see sketch on the plan) although it is not strictly
necessary to pin them down, it does help to ensure that you end up
with two mirrored parts i.e. a left hand and a right hand.
