THE FUSELAGE
Note: The major side pieces of the fuselage (K1)
should be very carefully handled as, before the
various stiffeners and other structural parts are
added, they are quite delicate.
Preparing all of the parts:
1) Identify and remove all of the parts on the laser
cut sheets: K1, K3 (2 off each), F1, F2, F6, F7
and F8 .
2) Pin the two fuselage sides K1 down onto the
board so they are ‘mirrored’ (see sketch on the
plan). Although it is not strictly necessary to pin
them down, it does help to ensure that you end
up with two mirrored parts i.e. a left hand and a
right hand.
3) Referring to the plan, glue light 1.6mm square
strips to the fuselage side pieces K1, along with
parts K3. Make sure that the holes align.
4) Referring to the plan, glue light strip
‘strengtheners’ on F6, F7 and F8 ensuring that
they do not overhang the edges of the parts.
5) Laminate parts F1 and F2 together making
sure that the profiles and the square holes align
correctly. Pin the parts down to keep them
flat and ensure that any glue that squishes out
from the parts is removed from the edges,
notches and slots, otherwise the parts may not fit
together well later.
6) Once parts K1 are set, remove them from the
board and add the bevel to the ends as indicated
on the plan, being careful to make the bevel on
the correct face (i.e. on the same side as the strip).
7) Once set, remove all other parts from the
board and put them aside for the next stage
of construction.
