❏
18. Glue both 1/8" x 3/16" x 36" [3.2 x 4.8 x
914mm]
sub stringers
into the groove in the main
stringers. Use leftover 1/8" [3.2mm] balsa to make
up for the last 1" [25mm] where the sub stringers
come up short.
❏
19. Cut a 3/16" x 36" [4.8 x 914mm] pushrod
guide tube to a length of 17-1/2" [444.5mm]. This is
the
tail steering guide tube
. Use coarse sandpaper
to roughen the outside of the guide tube so glue will
adhere. Slide the guide tube through the holes in F7-
B through F11-B as shown on the side view of the
fuse plan and glue it into position.
❏
20. Sand the bottom of the aft end of the fuse
sides (where indicated by the arrows in the photo)
even with formers F7-B and F8-B to accommodate
the sheeting that will be added later.
Sheet the aft fuse bottom
❏ ❏
1. Cut a 3/32" x 3" x 36" [2.4 x 76 x 914mm]
balsa sheet to a length of 26" [660mm]. Glue the
sheet to a 3/32" x 3" x 40" [2.4 x 76 x 1016mm] balsa
sheet 7" [180mm] from one end. This will be the left
fuse side sheet.
❏ ❏
2. Trim the fuse side sheet to roughly fit the
fuse from the sub stringer to the middle of the 1/4" x
1/4" [6.4 x 6.4mm] stringer on the bottom of the fuse.
Wet the outside of the sheet near the bottom with
water or window cleaner so it will bend around the
formers and stringers.
❏ ❏
3. Trim the sheet to fit more precisely, keeping
it slightly oversize to allow for positioning. Glue the
sheet first to the main and sub stringers, then to the
formers and the rest of the stringers. Trim the sheet
even with formers F5B, F12B and F13.
❏
4. Sheet the other side of the fuse the same way.
Fill the gap between both sides with lightweight
sandable balsa filler. Use a hobby knife followed with
a bar sander to trim the sheeting even with the
bottom of the fuse sides.
Sheet the front fuse bottom
❏
1. Glue a die-cut 1/8" [3.2mm] plywood former
F5B
to the front of former F5D on the right side (the
wider part of F5B goes toward the top, or toward the
workbench.) Glue a die-cut 1/8" [3.2mm] plywood
former
F3D
to the front of former F3B on the right
side. Cut the stringers that go into the notches of
formers F3B through F5B on the right side of the
fuse from a 1/8" x 1/4" x 36" [3.2 x 6.4 x 914mm]
balsa stick. Glue the stringers into position.
The Sea Fury was born out of the Royal Navy’s
requirement for a carrier-based interceptor. In
April, 1943, Hawker Aircraft Ltd. began work on a
land-based version, with a Naval conversion to
be performed by Boulton-Paul Aircraft Ltd. Early
in 1944 the RAF placed contracts for two-
hundred planes and the Fleet Air Arm placed
contracts for two-hundred planes.
