Step 68 - Fuselage Assembly (P7)
Locate both P7s from BP7. Glue
them together to create a thicker
P7 as shown here.
Step 69 - Fuselage Assembly (P7)
Glue the P7 assembly into
the rear of the fuse, on the
top side as shown here.
Be careful not to push in too
far as it will distort the slot.
Step 70 - Fuselage Assembly (top & bottom cross braces)
Using 1/4” square balsa, now
measure, cut and glue in the
upper and lower cross braces for
the back of the fuselage.
There are two lower braces and
three upper braces (one that
butts-up against P7).
Step 71 - Fuselage Assembly (R0 ribs)
Locate both R0 ribs from
BP7. These are glued in
position inside the top of
the fuselage, resting on
the notches cut into F5
and F6.
Make sure these are
vertically aligned and
correctly seated into the notches.
Step 72 - Fuselage Assembly (dihedral brace)
Locate the three DH1s from
LP9. These are stacked on
top of each other to form
the dihedral brace.
Use epoxy and clamps for
this step, making sure that
all three pieces are perfectly
aligned.
Step 73 - Fuselage Assembly (dihedral brace)
Using more of the 3/16”
x 3/8” basswood, make a
top and bottom cap for the
dihedral brace. You’ll need to
make 3 separate sections for
the top and 3 for the bottom
because of the dihedral angle. Epoxy these pieces to the brace.
Step 74 - Fuselage Assembly (dihedral brace & cross braces)
Now it’s time to glue the
dihedral brace into the large
slots of the R0 ribs and fuse
sides. Make sure that the
dihedral brace is exactly
centered on the fuselage and
completely seated in the slot
when gluing in place. Use
epoxy for this.
Now measure and cut the
cross bracing that goes across the center section. There are three
1/4” square balsa pieces and two 3/8” square basswood pieces.
Glue these in place as shown.
Step 75 - Fuselage Assembly (wing attachment points)
Using 3/8” square basswood,
cut four 5-1/2” lengths. Two of
these are used on each side of
the fuselage to create the wing
attachment points. Carefully
slide them into the square
cutouts in the fuselage side and
R0. They should be parallel to the dihedral brace and have a slight
rise (2° angle) that matches the dihedral brace. Also, the right and
left pieces should touch in the middle. When satisfied with the
position and fit, epoxy them in position as shown here.
Step 76 - Fuselage Assembly (center section sheeting)
As you did when sheeting the
wing halves, now it’s time to
sheet the top of the fuselage.
Using 1/16” sheeting, measure
and cut the pieces to fit between
the cross bracing as shown here.
Glue these pieces in place,
making sure they are attached to each of the ribs and the cross
braces.
Step 77 - Fuselage Assembly (center section sheeting)
One small strip of 1/16th is used
to fill in the thin gap underneath
the center section’s leading
edge, as shown here.
Step 78 - Fuselage Assembly (sanding)
Now it’s time for a bit of sanding. Make sure you sand the center
sheeting section smooth and sand off any excess that extends past
the side of the fuselage.
Step 79 - Fuselage Assembly (R1)
Locate two R1s from LP8
and LP10. These are slid
in position on each side
of the center section as
shown. Glue these in
position, making sure
they are completely flat.
