Dynaflite DYFA2016 - Manual (Page 8)

U 11. Remove the fuselage from your building
board. Sand the bottom so the formers and fuselage
sides are even. Sand the top of the fuselage sides
and the crutch so they are even.
LJ 15. Sand the bottom ply sheet so it is even with
the fuse sides.
LI 16. Glue the 1/4" x 3/8" x 4-1/4" basswood
tow hook anchor to the inside of the forward fuse
bottom, between bulkheads A and B with medium
CA. Note that the 1 /4" side of the anchor is the side
that contacts the fuse bottom.
Q 12. Glue the cross-grain sheeting cut from a
1/16" x 3" x 24" balsa sheet to the aft fuselage top.
The c r o s s grain sheeting should extend from
bulkhead A aft to the end of the crutch.
U 13. Use a straightedge to accurately draw a line
with a ballpoint pen down the center of the 1/8" x
2" x 23-7/8" cross-grain plywood sheet. Cut the
sheet to a length of 12-3/4".
Q 14. Use medium CA to glue the 1 2 - 3 / 4 "
cross-grain plywood sheet to the bottom of the
fuselage so the aft edge aligns with the middle of
bulkhead B and the centerline on the bottom sheet
aligns with the center marks on the bulkheads.
Note: Perform step 1 only if your are an experienced
pilot who will be able to take advantage of
a steerable rudder. A i l e r o n s alone will allow
intermediate fliers to turn the Bobcat properly.
LJ 1. Make the slot for the rudder pushrod guide
tube in the rear of the left fuselage side at the
location shown in the photo and on the plan. Use a
3/16" brass tube sharpened at one end, a 3/16"
drill or a hobby knife.
Do not use CA Accelerator while you build the fin.
Residual accelerator may cure the CA you use to
glue on the fin sheeting before you have a chance
to position it.
