Glue the fuselage halves together.
Attach the tail ski if you are building the Swedish version.
Engine Assembly
Engine assembly is covered in the upper section of page 6 of the instructions, although you can complete this step at
any time during the assembly of your model.
Prior to being assembly, I recommend you drill out the pushrod attachment points on the front and rear
crankcase, as it will make placing the pushrods much easier.
Assemble the engine crankcases and manifold together as shown in the instructions. Do not remove the
remaining rod that sticks out as it will be used to attach the engine/cowl assembly to the fuselage.
I began assembly by attaching the back row of cylinders, being sure that each was facing exactly forward. See
Photo 3
for assistance in determining which are the rear cylinders (on the right in
Photo 3
) if needed.
