Building the Tail Surfaces
1.
Always cover the plan with wax paper before building any parts over the plan. This will prevent the parts from sticking to the
plan.
2.
Build the rudder over the plan using parts R-1, R-2 and R-3. The remainder of the structure is made from 3/32" sq. balsa
strip and 3/32" x 1/4" balsa strip as shown on the plan.
3.
Build the stabilizer over using parts S-1 and S-2. The remainder of the structure is made from 3/32" sq. balsa strip and 3/32"
x 1/4" balsa strip as shown on the plan.
4.
When the glue is dry, remove the rudder and stabilizer from the plan and sand the surfaces smooth and round the edges.
Test fit the stabilizer into the slot in the rudder. Now set these parts aside until needed later.
Building the Wing
5.
The wing is built in one piece. The first step is to pin the main spars W-1 to the plan and join them using part W-2. This will
also establish the proper dihedral angle.
6.
Pin the center section of the joined spar into position over the plan. Cut and pin into position the 3/32" x 1/4" trailing edge for
the center section.
7.
Glue rib W-3 and the adjacent two W-4 ribs to the lower spar and the center section trailing edge.
8.
Cut the 3/32" sq. top spar, the 1/16" sq. strips and the 1/8" sq. leading edge to length and glue into position on the wing
center section.
9.
Remove the pins from the wing center section and rotate the wing so that the right bottom spar is in full contact with the
plan. PIace this spar in the proper position on the plan and pin the spar to the plan.
10.
Cut the 3/32" x 1/4" trailing edge to length and pin it into position over the right wing plan.
11.
Glue seven W-4 ribs into position to the bottom right spar and the trailing edge.
12.
Glue the 3/32" sq. top spar into position.
13.
Glue the 1/8" sq. leading edge into position. Glue the 1/16" sq. strips into the notches in the top front of the ribs.
14.
Remove the pins from the wing assembly and rotate it so that the left bottom spar is in the proper position over the plan and
pin the wing into position.
15.
Build the left wing panel as you did the right.
16.
Remove the wing from the plan and glue the wing tip blocks into position.
17.
Sand the wing smooth all over. Sand the wing tips to shape, taper the trailing edges and round the leading edges.
18.
Set the wing aside until needed later.
Building the Fuselage
19.
Build the two fuselage side frames over the main plan using parts F-1, F-2, F-3 and F-4. The remaining pieces of the side
frames are made from 3/32" sq. balsa strips.
20.
Glue the 3/32" sq. strips to the rear face of formers F-5 and F-6 as shown on the plan.
21.
Position Formers F-5 and F-6 onto one of the side frames. Make sure that they are 90 degrees to the side frames and glue
them into position.
22.
Glue the opposite side frame to formers F-5 and F-6.
