Build Instructions
Fuselage
(continued)
37.
Sanding -
Using a sanding block loaded with 120/240 grit paper, sand the nose to match
the contours shown on the 11x17 detail sheet.
38. Sand the corners off of the rear stringers so that the covering material will lie in a smooth
arc. Leave F31 flat. Lightly sand the rest of the fuselage, removing any excess glue and
smoothing the joints between parts.
Set the completed fuselage aside until needed in the Covering steps.
Tail Surfaces
39. Build the vertical stabilizer and rudder from parts V1 through V6, and R1 through R5 (sheet
05/10, 3/32 in. balsa), over the plan on the detail sheet, and bond with CA.
40. Lay the rudder on the work surface with the left side facing up and the leading edge aligned
with the edge of the work surface. Using a sanding block or sanding stick, sand a 45
degree bevel along the left side of the leading edge of the rudder.
41. Build the horizontal stabilizer and elevator from parts H1 through H5 and E1 through E5
(sheet 07/10, 3/32 in. balsa) over the plan on the detail sheet., and bond with CA.
42. Lay the elevator on the work surface with the etched side facing down, and the leading
edge aligned with the edge of the work surface. Using a sanding block or sanding stick,
sand a 45 degree bevel along the leading edge of the elevator.
Lightly sand the completed tail surfaces, removing any excess glue and smoothing the
joints between parts. Set the surfaces aside until needed in the Covering steps.
Pylon
43. Lay P1a and P1b (sheet 07/10, 3/32 in. balsa) on the work surface with the etched side
facing up. Fit P1a to P1b and bond with CA.
44. Position P2 (sheet 09/10, 1/32 in. ply) between the etched lines and the edges of P1. Bond
with CA.
