.
26. Glue F-2A and F-2B to F-2C.
27.
Glue the landing gear wire into the slot between F-2A and F-2B. Now glue this assembly securely to the rear face of F-2.
28.
Glue the 3/32" sq. strips to the bottom of the fuselage between F-10A and the tail.
29.
Sand the fuselage smooth all over and sand F-2, F-3 and F-4 flush with the tops of the cabin sides.
30.
Glue parts F-23, F-23A, F-24 and F-25 together.
31.
Place the nose block (do not glue) on the front of the fuselage and sand to the shape shown on the plan.
32.
Drill the 1/4" hole in the nose block for the propeller bearing. Be sure to add the proper right and down thrust while drilling
this hole.
33.
Cut P-1 from the plan and glue into position on the fuselage.
34.
Cut P-2 from the plan and glue into position on the fuselage. The forward ends should overlap parts F-5 by about 1/16".
Building the Wings
35.
Cut the two 3/32" x 1/4" trailing edge pieces and pin to the left wing plan and glue them together.
36.
Cut the two 3/32" x 1/4" leading edge pieces and pin to the left wing plan and glue them together.
37.
Cut the bottom 3/32" sq. spar to length and pin into position on the plan.
38.
Hold the first rib W-1 in position. Pin the dihedral gauge to the plan and rest the rib against it so that the top edge of the rib
angles toward the wing tip. Glue the rib to the leading edge, the trailing edge and the bottom spar. When dry, remove the
dihedral brace and save it for use on the right wing.
39.
Glue the remaining ribs, W-l through W-6 into position. These ribs should be 90 degrees to the building board.
40.
Glue the wing tip into position at the angle shown on the plan.
41.
Glue the 1/16" sq. and the 3/32" sq. spars to the top of the wing. Trim the ends to match the angle of the wing tip.
42.
Trim, fit and glue W-7 into position.
43.
Remove the wing from the plan and sand smooth all over. Sand the leading edge and the tip round and taper the trailing
edge.
44.
Now build the right wing over the right wing plan using the same steps that you used for the left wing.
Cover the Model
45.
Sand the entire model smooth with 400 grit sandpaper.
46.
Coat the outside edges with two coats of clear dope.
47.
Attach the tissue to the model with clear dope mixed 50/50 with thinner. Do Not cover the top of the fuselage at this time.
This will be done after the wing is attached in step #58.
48.
Lightly mist the model with water to shrink the tissue.
49.
Apply two coats of thinned dope to the entire model.
50.
Carefully apply the waterslide decal's to the model.
51.
Draw additional details on the model with a waterproof marker.
