Fitting bulkheads to stringers before wicking
thin CA into joints.
Be positive that bulkheads are in correctly before
gluing!
Note that air vents are on the left side.
Start by assembling bulkheads 1, 2 and
3 to the side stringers. Make sure the
bulkheads are in the correct slots, and
facing the correct way.
The “R” should be
on the right.
Push the bulkheads all the way into the
stringers, until they are flush at the
bottom of the stringer. You may need to
tap the bulkheads with a block of wood
or a small hammer to get them fully
seated.
Be sure that the cooling slots in the side
stringers are on the left side when viewed
from the rear.
Once you are satisfied with the fit of the
bulkheads in the stringers, wick some
thin CA into the joints. Don’t glue
bulkhead 3 until the others are done.
Don’t use so much CA that it drips off
the part. Thin CA is about as thick as
alcohol, so it runs and seeps everywhere.
Hit each joint with accelerator to harden
it. Only glue once, we will go
over the joints a second time after we fit
this assembly to the bottom. If
needed, we can break the glue joints
pretty easily at this point, but not after
double gluing.
Now glue bulkhead 3, being careful to
align the bottom part flush with stringer.
Also be sure the fin doubler is on the
right.
Fit bulkheads 4 and 5, making sure that
they fit tightly to the side stringers. The
two holes go on the right. Wrap a rubber
band around bulkhead 5 to keep it in the
stringers.
Set this assembly aside for now.
