Fuselage
(continued)
9.
Fuselage Sides -
Fit and bond F11a and F11b (sheet 04/10, 1/20 in. balsa) to create the
left
fuselage side. Fit and bond F12a to F12b (sheet 04/10, 1/20 in. balsa) to create the
right
fuselage side.
10.
Fit and “tack glue” the F11 assembly to the
left
side of the central crutch. Fit and “tack glue”
the F12 assembly to the
right
side of the central crutch. Square the assembly on a flat
surface and “final bond” all parts of the central crutch and the fuselage sides with CA.
Do not bond the rear of the fuselage at this time.
11.
Remove the crosspiece at the
front
of F10.
12.
Landing Gear Pocket -
Turn the fuselage assembly
upside down
. Slide F13 (sheet 10/10,
1/32 in. ply) into the angled notches along the
bottom
of the fuselage sides, and into the two
corresponding slots in F1. The notches in the fuselage are oversized to accommodate the
other parts of the landing gear pocket. F13 goes to the
front
portion of these notches.
13.
Slide F14 (sheet 10/10, 1/32 in. ply) into the same slots in the fuselage sides, immediately
behind
F13.
14.
Slide F15 (sheet 10/10, 1/32 in. ply) into the same slots in the fuselage sides, immediately
behind
F14, and into the single slot in F1. Ensure that all three parts are fully seated, then
wick CA around the edges of both sides of the landing gear pocket.
Make sure that no
glue enters the landing gear pocket.
15.
Rear Fuselage -
Turn the assembly
right side up
. Fit and bond crosspiece F16 (sheet
02/10, 1/20 in. balsa) to the notches along the
top
of the fuselage sides
behind
former F9.
16.
Fit former F17 (sheet 02/10, 1/20 in. balsa) to the slots in the fuselage sides
behind
F16.
Ensure that F17 is installed with the “Top” marking at the
top
of the fuselage.
