Construction
(continued)
8.
Landing Gear Pocket -
Fit part F9 (sheet 08/08, 1/32 in. ply) into the slots in the fuselage
sides, immediately
behind
former F5.
Note:
The slots are oversized to accommodate F9
and F10. F9 will rest in the
front
portion of the slots.
9.
Fit F10 (sheet 08/08, 1/32 in. ply) immediately behind F9. Make sure both F9 and F10 are
fully seated, then glue with CA around the edges, to bond in place.
Note: Ensure that no
glue enters the landing gear pocket.
10.
Fit and bond the fuselage doublers, parts F11 (sheet 04/08, 1/20 in. balsa) to the inside of
the
right
and
left
fuselage sides, between formers F10 and F4. Place both F11s so that the
arrows on each are pointing
forward
.
11.
Rear Fuselage -
Fit and “tack glue” former F12 (sheet 03/08, 1/20 in. balsa) between the
rear
fuselage sides. Ensure that the “Top” etching on F12 faces
up
.
12.
Assemble the fuselage
bottom
F13 from parts F13a and F13b (sheet 03/08, 1/20 in. balsa).
Refer to the
Fuselage Bottom Detail
drawing on
Detail Sheet 1 of 2
. Fit and “tack glue” F13
to the
bottom
of the fuselage.
13.
Turn the fuselage upright, and square it against the work surface. Ensure that the
rear
of
the fuselage sides are aligned with each other, and that they are vertical. Tape them
together at the
rear,
using low-tack masking tape. “Final bond” the fuselage with CA.
14.
Fit and bond the notched formers F14, F15 (sheet 02/08, 1/20 in. balsa), and F16 (sheet
04/08, 1/20 in. balsa) to the notches in the
top
of the
rear
fuselage. Refer to
Detail Sheet 1
of 2
for their proper location.
15.
Fit the stringers, parts 1, 2, and 3 (sheet 04/08, 1/20 in balsa) to the notches in formers F6,
F14, F15, and F16. Stringer 1 will rest in the
center
notches: Stringer 2 will fit in the
notches on each side of stringer 1; Stringer 3 will fit in the notches on each side of stringer
2. Bond with CA.
16.
Front Fuselage -
Turn the fuselage
upside down
. Fit F17 (sheet 04/08, 1/20 in. balsa) to
the notches in the fuselage sides immediately
behind
the landing gear pocket, and to the
tabs on F10 of the landing gear pocket. Bond with CA.
Note: Ensure that no glue enters
the landing gear pocket.
