 6. To complete the fuselage bracing, install a 4 1 /

(105mm) rod from the previous rod back down to
the horizontal fuselage. You will need to trim the
fuselage to expose the carbon support so the rod
can be glued securely to the brace.
 7. Check the joints in Steps 1 through 6 to ensure
you have a nice fillet of CA at every junction
where you have glued the carbon rods to each
other and the fuselage. Apply additional CA if
necessary to create this fillet.
 8. Installing the wing bracing is similar to installing
the fuselage bracing, as you want the rods to be
glued to the carbon bracing that has been pre-
installed on the wing and fuselage. The longer

toward the leading edge. The rods are staggered
and fit into notches in the fuselage. Make sure
the rods are straight and are not flexing the
wing. Use foam-safe CA to glue the rods in
position. The wing should be flat and parallel
to the horizontal stabilizer, while also being
perpendicular to the vertical fuselage.
