All the parts in the following steps are die-cut 1/8"
plywood unless otherwise noted. After you remove
die-cut parts from their die sheets, remove slivers
and die-cutting irregularities with a bar sander and
80-grit sandpaper.
1. Unroll the fuselage plan. Reroll it the opposite
way so it will lie flat. Align the side view of the
fuselage plan over a flat building board into which
you can stick T-pins.
Q 2. Lay a piece of wax paper on the fuselage plan
over the joint between the forward and aft fuselage
sides so glue will not stick to the plan. Pin the
forward right fuselage side over its location on the
plan. Test fit the aft right fuselage side to it. Use
your bar sander to adjust the forward edge of the aft
fuselage side so it accurately aligns with its location
over the plan. Glue it to the forward fuselage side
with medium CA.
Q 5. Sand the glue joint on both sides of the
fuselage sides so it is smooth and even.
U 6. Place the fuselage sides together and
accurately align them. Drill 3/16" holes in the
dimples on the left fuselage side for the wing
hold-down dowels.
U 7. Transfer the lines you marked on the inside of
the right fuselage side to the left fuselage side by
marking them on the top and bottom of the left
fuselage side. Draw the lines with a straightedge
and your ballpoint pen.
Q 8. Use medium CA to glue the left and right
fuselage side joiners to the inside of the left and
right fuselage sides, respectively, so their top edges
are 1/16" below the top edges of the fuselage sides.
U 3. Before you remove the right fuselage side from
the plan, use a straightedge and a ballpoint pen to
accurately mark the location of the three formers
onto the fuselage side.
U 4. Remove the right fuselage side from the plan.
Glue the forward left fuselage side to the aft left
fuselage side the same way.
LJ 9. Sand the bottom edges of the joiners so they
are even with the bottoms of the fuselage sides.
CJ 1. Accurately mark the center of the bottom of the
bulkheads. Label them as shown on the plan and in
the photo.
