Step 58 - Fuselage Assembly (fuselage corners)
Locate the 1/2” square
balsa stick. Then measure
and cut the upper and
lower corners of the front
part of the fuselage.
Glue these in position.
Step 59 - Fuselage Assembly (attach P3, P4)
Locate P3 and P4 from LP4.
These are glued into the slots
of the bottom of the fuselage to
form the fuselage’s floor.
Test fit them first, then remove
and glue in position.
Step 60 - Fuselage Assembly (P5)
Locate P5 from LP4. This is glued
in to form the aft of the fuselage
hatch surround. Test fit it first,
then remove and glue in position.
Step 61 - Fuselage Assembly (attach H2 or H2A)
Using 3/16” x 3/8”
basswood, measure and
cut several pieces to
make the internal window
bracing for the port side
of the fuselage. It’s hard
to see in this small photo,
but also refer to the plans
and to our online photos (see the top of page 3 for info on how to
access those).
Glue all of these braces in position and hold them firmly in place
while the glue cures. When cured, do the same for the starboard
side of the fuse.
Step 62 - Fuselage Assembly (F4 cross brace)
Using 3/16” x 3/8” basswood,
measure and cut the cross
brace to strengthen the top of
F4. Glue in position as shown.
Step 63 - Fuselage Assembly (F7 cross brace)
Using 3/16” x 3/8”
basswood, measure and
cut the cross brace to
strengthen the top of F7.
Glue in position as shown.
Step 64 - (creating rear taper)
Work now moves to the rear of the
fuselage to join the fuselage sides so
they taper together. To do this, you’ll
need to sand away equal amounts on the
insides of both side frames.
Using a ruler and straight-edge, measure
and draw the guides as shown in the
photo (1/2 way on the verticals, tapering
in about 1-1/4” down the fuselage.
These marks will show exactly how much
wood should be sanded away on the
insides of each fuselage side, so they
will taper correctly. Although you can cut this with a saw or hobby
knife, sandpaper makes quick work of this, but use caution not to
remove too much.
Step 65 - Fuselage Assembly (joining rear)
Once the rear
of each side has
been properly
tapered, they
can now be
glued together.
Make sure both sides are in perfect alignment before the glue sets
up.
Step 66 - Fuselage Assembly (TW1)
Locate two TW1s from LP3
and one LP3 from LP6. These
are glue together to make a
3-layer assembly as shown
here. Use epoxy for this step.
Step 67 - Fuselage Assembly (TW1)
The TW1 assembly from
the last step is glued
on the underside of the
fuselage, at the rear,
to form the tailwheel
mounting plate.
Glue this in place as
shown and make sure it
is flush with the bottom
side of the fuselage.
