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.
