17.
Pull the
rear
portions of the fuselage sides and F13 together, tack gluing as you go,
engaging the tabs in F13 with the notches in the fuselage sides. Bend the
rear
sections of
fuselage side F5b/F8b around the end of F13 and tack glue. Square the assembly on a flat
surface and thoroughly bond F13 where it contacts the fuselage sides and F3.
Upper Decking
18.
Turn fuselage
right-side-up
and fit F14 between the
aft
end of the fuselage sides. Bend the
rear
sections of fuselage sides
F5b/F8b around the ends of F14 and bond with CA.
19.
Fit F15 perpendicular to F14 and within the slot at F14. Bond with CA.
20.
Position F16
over
F14 and against the
back
side of F15.
Note that F14 and F15 feature
alignment holes that will readily accept a scrap piece of .032 (1/f32 in.) wire to aid in
alignment.
Lift F16 and wick a slow setting CA glue such as Thick or Medium between
parts then place F16 back on top of F14 and against F15 - properly aligned before the glue
cures.
21.
Position F17 over F16 and repeat the process given “Step 20” above to align and bond F17
over F16.
22.
Fit the
center
stringer F18 to the
center
notches in F3 and F15. Bond with CA.
