These instructions were written assuming that the builder has previous building experience. If this is your frrst model then we
recommend that you purchase a copy of the following book:
Rubber Powered Model Airplanes By: Don Ross
This excellent book covers basic building and flying procedures and provides valuable information about all aspects of building
and flying rubber powered model airplanes.
Building the Fuselage
1.
Pin the plan to the building board and cover it with wax paper.
2.
Pin the fuselage keel pieces #1 through #5 into position on the plan.
3.
Position #6 on the front of #1 and #5. The top and bottom of the formers may be determined by the location of the slot for
the master stringers #17 and #18. Use a small square to hold up #6 at a 90 degree angle to the building board. Glue #6 into
position.
4.
Carefully glue formers #7 through #16 into position on the fuselage keel making sure that they are 90 degrees to the
building board.
5.
Assemble the master stringer over the top view on the plan using #17 and #18. When the glue is dry, position the master
stringer onto the fuselage assembly and make sure that it is pressed completely. Now glue the master stringer into position.
6.
Glue former #19 into position.
7.
Glue the fuselage stringers ("A") into position. Splice two pieces together if required to get the correct length. The top two
stringers stop at the front and rear of the cockpit areas.
8.
Remove the fuselage from the plan. Add the formers to the oppositie side of the keel and glue the master stringer into
position. Now glue the remaining stringers into position.
9.
Wet the outside only of one #20. Allow it to sit for several minutes and then fit to the fuselage. Glue it into place when you
are satisfied with the fit. Now repeat installing the other #20 to the opposite side of the fuselage.
10.
Glue the two #21's into position. The basic fuselage structure is now finished. Now sand the fuselage smooth all over.
11.
Glue the four #22's together to make the headrest. Sand to shape and test fit onto the fuselage. Do not glue into position
until after the parts are covered.
12.
Laminate parts #23 through #26. Now glue #58 to the front of #26. Sand the front of #58 to establish the proper amount of
right and down thrust. Now glue #27 into position and sand the nose block to shape.
13.
Cut a horizontal slot in the #16 immediately above the master stringer to allow the stabliizer to be inserted into the fuselage.
14.
Cut the cockpit paper patterns from the plan and fit them to the fuselage and then glue them into position.
Building the Tail Surfaces
15.
Cover the plan with wax paper. Build the stabilizer over the plan using laser cut parts #34 through #40, two #52's and
stripwood "B".
16.
Remove the stabilizer from the plan and sand the edges round and smooth the entire assembly.
17.
Build the rudder framework from laser cut parts #28 through #32 and one #52 gusset.
18.
Remove the rudder from the plan and add four #33 pieces to the bottom of each side of the rudder. Sand the edges of the
rudder round and sand the #33's to match the rear of the fuselage and blend them into the trailing edge of the rudder.
