Step 89 - Fuselage Assembly (P2)
Glue the P2 assembly in
place on the underside of the
fuselage as shown.
Now it’s time to start construction of the tail surfaces.
Prepare your work area
Position the horizontal stab /elevator plan side over the surface
and tape into position and cover with waxed paper.
Step 90 - Stab (S1 and S2)
Locate the four S1s from BP6
and the four S2s from sheet
BP7. Carefully stack two S1s
and glue them together to form
a single 1/4” thick S1, then do
the same for the remaining S1s.
Take two of the S2s, stack and
glue them to form a single 1/4”
thick S2. Do the same with the remaining S2 pieces.
Step 91 - Stab (outer framing)
The two S1 assemblies
should be pinned in
place and glued to each
other. The S2 assemblies
should be pinned in
place next. Measure two
lengths of 1/4 x 1/2” balsa to make the leading and trailing edges
of the stab. Glue all of these pieces together.
It can make things easier to line up by using a long straight-edge
as we’ve done in this photo.
Step 92 - Stab (inner framing)
Using 1/4” square balsa, cut
and glue in the inner framing
of the stab. First one side,
then the other.
When the glue has cured,
remove the stab from the
board.
Step 93 - Elevator (S3 and S4)
Locate the four S3’s and the four
S4s from sheet BP7. Carefully
stack two S3’s and glue them
together to form a single 1/4”
thick S3, then do the same for
the remaining S3s. Take two of
the S4s, stack and glue them to
form a single 1/4” thick S4. Do
the same with the remaining S4
pieces.
Step 94 - Elevator (leading edge)
The two S3 and two S4
assemblies should be pinned
in place. Measure two lengths
of 1/4 x 1/2” balsa to make
the leading edges of the stab.
Glue all of these pieces in
place.
Again, it can make things easier to line up by using a long straight-
edge as we’ve done in this photo.
Step 95 - Elevator (trailing edge and inner framing)
Using 1/4” square balsa, cut
and glue in the inner framing
of the elevator halves, first
one side, then the other.
Locate left over G1s from BP1-
4 and glue them into the rear
outer corner as shown here.
Step 96 - Elevator (joiner)
Measure and cut the elevator
joiner to length from the included
1/4” dowel. You will also need to
cut notches into the leading edges
of the elevator halves. When satisfied with the fit, glue the joiner
in position.
Prepare your work area
Position the horizontal stab /elevator plan side over the surface
and tape into position and cover with waxed paper.
Step 97 - Vertical Fin/Rudder (RD1, RD2, RD3 and RD4)
Locate the two RD1s, two RD2s,
two RD3s and two RD4s from
BP6. Carefully stack two RD1s
and glue them together to form
a single 1/4” thick RD1, then
do the same for the remaining
RD2s, RD3s and RD4s.
Step 98 - Vertical Fin/Rudder (outer framing)
Pin RD1 and RD2 in position.
Measure and cut 1/4” x 1/2” strips
to create the other framing of the
vertical fin. Glue these in place.
Then pin RD3 and RD4 in position.
Measure two more lengths to form
the rudder frame. Do not glue the
elevator to the rudder.
Step 99 - Vertical Fin/Rudder (internal framing)
Measure and cut the fin’s internal
ribs from a 1/4” square strip. Take
care to match the angles for a
good fit. Pin these in position and
glue into place.
