Building the Fuselage
5.
Build the fuselage side frames over the plan using the laser cut parts F-A and one F-B. The remaining pieces of the side
frames are made from 3/32" sq. balsa strip. Splice the top longeron as shown on the plan.
6.
Lay the side frames on top of each other and pin the tail posts together. Position and glue #3 into position. Glue the 3/32"
sq. cross piece at the front of the wing opening.
7.
Glue pieces 4, 5, 6, 6A, 7, 7A, 8, 8A, 9 and 9A into position. Now glue the tail posts together.
8.
Glue pieces 2, 2A and 1 into position. Glue B-1 into position. Glue the canopy frame into position.
9.
Glue the 3/32" sq. stringers in to position on the top and bottom of the nose.
10.
Glue the 1/16" sq. stringers into position on the top and bottom rear of the fuselage.
11.
Glue the three N pieces to the nose of the model. Glue the four B-2 pieces together and sand the angle onto the front to
match the side view on the plan. Now glue them to the front of B-1.
12.
Glue the 3/32" sq. side stringers to each side of the fuselage.
13.
Make the nose block by gluing the pieces N-1 and N-2 together.
14.
Insert (do not glue) the nose block on the front of the model. Laminate a second part F-B onto the outside of the ones on
the side frames. Sand the nose of the model to its final shape and sand the fuselage smooth all over.
15.
Trim the canopy and test fit to the model.
NOTE: Do not cut the support from between the wing saddle and the belly scoop until after covering.
Building the Wings
16.
Build the center section first. Pin the 3/32" x 3/16" leading and trailing edge to the plan.
17.
Pin the lower 3/32" sq. spars onto the plan. Glue ribs W-1 and W-2 into position. Glue the gussets G-1 and G-3 into
position.
18.
Glue the 3/32" sq. spar to the top of the center section. This spar should extend past W-2 by about 1/4" on each side.
Remove the center section of the wing from the plan.
NOTE: Do not put the 1/16" sq. leading edge spars in place until after joining the wing.
19.
Build the left wing panel over the plan. First pin the 3/32" x 3/16" leading edge and trailing edge into position. Pin the 3/32"
sq. bottom spars to the plan. These spars should extent to the inside edge of W-2 on the plan.
20.
Laminate ribs W-4, W-4A and W-4B together. Cut a paper strip from the plan 3/8" x 3/4" and roll into a tub around the
landing gear wire with glue to form a paper tube. Use Sigment or Ambroid to glue the paper tube. Glue this tube into the
opening in W-4A and then trim flush with the bottom of the rib.
21.
Glue ribs W-3 through W-8 into position. Glue the top 3/32" sq. spar to the ribs. This spar should extend past W-2 at the
center and past the tip at the end.
22.
Glue gussets G-2 and G-4 into position.
23.
Remove the wing from the plan.
24.
Build the right wing as you did the left.
25.
To join the wings, first pin the center section to the plan.
26.
Place the left wing into position. The bottom and top spars should pass beyond W-2.
