4. Glue rear pieces of fuselage (fuse) sides.
Temporarily position doublers and check for fit and
correct placement (flush along top edge).
Glue doublers to fuse sides using CA or epoxy.
Apply CA smoothly in a series of ribbons or
stripes to the doubler. Then, when the doubler is
set carefully in correct position and pressed down fimly,
the adhesive is squeezed into a very thin layer and
sets up almost instantaneously. (Epoxy allows more
time for application and adjustment.)
Lie fuse sides over side view on plan and mark
locations of formers 2 and 3.
5. Refer to plan for locations, then glue 1/16” ply
tongue and balsa brace to hatch.
Glue balsa hole doubler to fuse top.
Glue the 1/16” ply triplers to formers 2 and 3. Then
glue the 1/8” ply doublers to the formers as shown.
Carefully drill 3/16” dowel holes through formers using
die cut holes in doublers as guides. When drilling, lay
formers on scrap wood to prevent break out.
