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.
