Once the glue has cured, do the same with F6 positioning it in the
rear slots of TRAY.
Step 48 - Fuselage Assembly (TRAY assembly)
Take the TRAY assembly and
test fit it into the fuselage
side. Start by notching
in the back of the TRAY
into the center notch of
F7. Then slowly work your
way forward to make sure
everything fits as it should,
and all the tabs fit into all the slots.
After satisfied with how this fits, remove it, apply glue and re-insert
it to secure it in position.
It is very important that all of the tabs fit completely into each slot.
Any gaps can weaken the structure.
Step 49 - Fuselage Assembly (F4)
Locate F4 from BP10. It forms
the support for the front
windshield/hatch.
Glue this in position, again
making sure all the tabs are fully
inserted into the side panel’s
notches.
Step 50 - Fuselage Assembly (F3)
Locate F3 from LP6. Locate it in position
on the front of the TRAY assembly and
side notches.
Glue this in position, again making sure
all the tabs are fully inserted into the side
panel’s notches.
Step 51 - Fuselage Assembly (pushrod exit)
Now it’s time to attach the
port side of the fuselage.
We advise doing a test fit to
make sure everything seats
in as it should.
When satisfied with the fit,
remove the side, apply glue
and re-attach the side.
It could be a good idea to
use a few weights to hold
the port side securely and
firmly in place why the glue cures.
Step 52 - Fuselage Assembly
(top cross brace)
Cut the top cross brace from some of the
leftover 3/8” square basswood stock. Glue it
in position as shown.
Step 53 - Fuselage Assembly (bottom cross brace)
Cut the bottom cross brace from some of the
leftover 3/8” square basswood stock. Glue it in
position as shown, underneath F6.
Step 54 - Fuselage Assembly (radio hatch mounts)
Locate two scrap lengths of
3/16” x 3/8” basswood. Measure
and cut them to form the two
radio hatch mounts. These span
from one side of the fuselage to
the other.
Glue them in place as shown.
Step 55 - Fuselage Assembly (LG)
Locate six LGs from LP1, LP2
and LP6. Three of these are
glued together to make a
3/8” high plywood stack, the
other three will make a similar
stack.
Use epoxy to glue these
together and use clamps to
hold them securely and perfectly aligned.
Step 56 - Fuselage Assembly (LG)
Measure and cut 4 lengths of
3/16” x 3/8” basswood the same
length as the LG assemblies.
These are glued in place as shown
to make a 3/16” groove where the
landing gear wire will be inserted.
It may help when gluing these
pieces in place to hold one of
the landing gear wires in place to
guarantee the alignment. But don’t glue the landing gear wire into
place.
Step 57 - Fuselage Assembly (LG)
Glue the LG assemblies
into the bottom of the
fuselage as shown. Make
sure that the landing gear
groove is visible when
viewing the fuselage from
the underside.
