Glue the front part of the nose top in
place, and sand it to shape after the
glue has set. Sand the rear part to size
but do not glue it to the fuselage. This
part serves as battery and motor
controller access hatch, and should be
kept removable.
Dry-fit the control cable support in the rear end of
the fuselage. Slide the outer control cables
through the holes in the rear former and the rear
support. The rear end of the cables should just
protrude from the fuselage, the elevator cable
through the opening at the rear of the fuselage,
and the rudder cable through the top, accounting
for the 1.5 mm top planking of the fuselage still to
be fitted. The front end should protrude some
10-15 mm through the holes in the rear former.
Check the drawing for the exact routing of the
cables, and glue everything in place. It is
important to run the rudder cable in such a way
that the steel inner cable only needs a minimum
of bending on its way to the rudder control horn.
Glue the top and bottom planking of
the fuselage, with the grain direction
across. Fix with dress pins. Start at
the front with a slightly oversized
piece, and continue to the rear by
holding the balsa sheet against the
previous piece, mark the size with a
pencil, cut slightly oversized again,
and glue in place. Maintain 2-3 mm
oversize, and sand flush with the
fuselage sides later.
