Building Instructions JIMMY Page of 6 20
Complete the nose. The side panels first, the
shortest one on the right. Apply glue to the
teeth and on the side of the bottom panel.
Slide the teeth into those on the fuselage
sides and swing the sides inwards to close
the joint with the bottom panel. Clamping may
be a bit difficult, so use pins or tape to fix the
joints.
Glue the captive parts for the landing
gear leg ends to the sides. Orient the
parts such that the slot corresponds
with the opening in the bottom panel.
Clamping will be a bit difficult, fix the
parts with pins or sand a bit of balsa
scrap to size and push it between the
parts. Keep the slot and the bottom
opening free from glue, any excess
should be removed with a matchstick or
similar to enable sliding in the L/G legs
from below.
Use the mounting cross included with
your motor to establish the correct
position of the self tapping mounting
screws. Center the cross over the
hole in the middle of the firewall, mark
the mounting holes and pre-drill the
holes with an appropriate size drill.
Screw the cross in place temporarily,
do not over tighten the screws.
Unscrew it again. When available,
harden the screw holes with thin
cyano glue, alternatively glue some
scrap plywood pieces on the back
side to provide more ”flesh” for the
screw thread. Dry-fit the firewall.
Slightly bevel the recessed surfaces
of the side and bottom panels to
provide a nice fit of the gluing
surfaces, but do not overdo it to avoid
altering the side and down thrust
angles of the motor/propellor. Glue
the firewall in position.
