11. ‡ When the fuselage is perfectly aligned, glue all
of the areas where the sides, top, bottom, and
formers join.
12. ‡ Insert the remaining 6-32 blind nuts into the pre-
drilled holes in the WING MOUNTING BLOCK.
NOTE: Make sure the blind nuts are inserted into the
side of the mounting block where the holes are
centered.
‡ Tap with a hammer to ensure the spurs are fully
set into the wood.
13. ‡ With the blind nuts on the inside the fuse, place
the mounting block into the cut-outs in the wing
saddle doubler and the fuselage sides. Trim, if
necessary, to achieve a good fit. Then, using
epoxy, glue in place.
NOTE: THIS IS A HIGH STRESS AREA. THE BET-
TER THE MOUNTING BLOCK FITS INTO THE
SOCKET, THE STRONGER THE JOINT WILL BE.
14. ‡ Form four 2-ply assemblies from the four LAND-
ING GEAR DOUBLERS.
‡ When the laminated assembles are dry, test fit
in position. The assemblies with the tabs fit at
the slotted locations between Former B and
Former B2. The assemblies without the tabs
go along the fuse sides.
‡ Epoxy securely in place.
15. ‡ Epoxy the 1/4 x 2-1/4 x 5-11/16” ply landing gear
plate between the fuse sides and into landing
gear doublers.
Now get the wing, which will be needed for the next
few steps.
16. ‡ Place the fuselage, bottom up, on a flat surface.
‡ Glue the WIND STOP to the fuse sides and the
doublers.
‡ Insert the wing dowel through the slightly over-
sized hole in Former B2. Slide the wing as far
forward as it will go. Make sure that the wing fits
tightly all along the wing saddle.
17. ‡ True the wing to the fuselage by adjusting the
distance from the wing-tip to the tail until both
dimensions are equal. Mark the wing for refer-
ence and tape in place.
