19. Insert the 1/4” sq. pieces into the slots on
the fuselage sides and align so they are
flush. Glue with thin CA. Glue rear 1/4”
piece as shown on plans and in the inset
photo.
20. Cut and fit 1/4” sq. vertical pieces and glue
to B2 and fuselage sides.
21. Using 3/32” balsa sheet pieces, sheet the
fuse bottom from B2 back to the tail. Insure
the grain is running crossways.
Taildragger Version:
Using scrap 1/8” ply, place on the bottom of the
fuselage at the very rear, mark shape and sand
to fit. Glue in place for tail wheel mount.
22. Once all pieces are glued and trimmed,
sand flush with sides. Remove fuse from
building surface.
23. Locate the two 7/8” x 1/2” x 1-5/8” wing
hold down blocks. Bevel each block so it
will fit flush with B2 and parallel with wing
saddle.
24. When satisfied with fit, use 5 minute epoxy
to glue blocks in place 1/32” below wing
saddle and flush with B2. Let dry.
Note:
If you removed the fuselage from the build-
ing surface during step 17. Make sure it is pinned
down and aligned with the plans for step 19.
