31. Either install the servos temporarily or have a darned good idea
exactly where they will go. Install the Nyrod pushrods with the stabilizer
horn installed on it's pushrod. Epoxy the 1/8" aluminum pivot tube
to the top of the fuselage sides as shown. Make sure It is free with
the Intended servo throw. As previously noted, the pushrod should install
in the hole giving a 1:1 ratio. Secure the Nyrods in several places
using epoxy and microballoons.
12. As the fuselage sides are one piece, the rear fuselage stiffener
is not needed and in fact is undesirable. Glue the rear top deck in
place using Titebond or white glue. Trim the foreward fairing fin to
shape from the piece of 1/4" X 2" X 6" balsa. Glue it to the fin and
rear deck - use a straight edge to align it with the fin.
13. Cyanoacrylate the two sections of each l/l6" die-cut fin side. Notch
them for the foreward stabilizer wire as shown on the drawing. Glue
them to the fin with Titebond or white glue. Either pin them tightly or
clamp so they won't warp.
14. Trim the front and rear of the nose hatch cover to shape. You can
recognize this because it's the only piece of wood you have left.(I hope)
Although not shown on the plan it is advisable to glue some 3/l6" sq.
hardwood "keys" to the bottom of the hatch cover to keep it from sliding
around.
15. Carve the fuselage to the contours shown on the drawing. Sand smooth.
The filet around the fin should be rough carved then filled to a smooth
contour using either Dap or Micro-balloons. Before applying the filler,
poke lots of holes in the surface with a pin to provide a tooth for the
material to grab.
This completes the fuselage construction.
FINISH IN G
If you are a spear landing artist it Is advisable to cover the nose -
back to bulkhead #1 or so with fiberglass. If you're a Gentle Ben, don't.
The easiest finish is paint - either K&B Super Poxy or Pactra Formula-U
or whatever you like. If you regard Monocoating compound curves as
an interesting challenge you will have a ball. Anyway, at least use
Monocoat on the wings and tailfeathers.
When complete add the tallskid, rudder horn and, if you use one, nose skid.
