30-minute epoxy. Glue some doublers to the blocks and
fuselage sides using leftover 1/4" x 3/8" basswood.
❏
26. Two 1/8" x 1/4" x 36" balsa sticks are
included with the kit. If desired, these can be glued to
the flat fuselage sides as stringers so that the covering
will give the fuselage a more rounded appearance.
❏
27. Sand the fuselage and set aside.
Before mounting the stab to the fuselage you should
first carve the stab to fin fairing blocks.
❏
1. The photo above shows some shim blocks that
have been tack glued into position. The lower shims
are from the leftover 3/8" x 15/16" stick used for
the fin post. The top shim can be cut from the leftover
3/8" x 15/16" stick. These shim blocks will properly
space the fairing blocks.
❏
2. Locate the two 3/4" x 1" x 8" tail fairing
blocks. Tack glue them into position on the shims and
carve the assembly to shape. When you are satisfied
with your work, remove the fairing blocks and shims
from the fuselage. Clean up the stab mounting area.
Before gluing the stab and fin to the fuselage you
should first mount the wing to the fuselage. This will
allow you to more accurately align the tail section.
❏
3. Fit the wing to the wing saddle in the fuselage.
Lightly sand the saddle if needed for a good fit.
❏
4. Center the wing and mark the location for the
dowels on former F2. While carefully holding the
wing in position, drill 1/4" holes through F2 and
into the wing leading edge. Remove the wing and
finish drilling the 1/4" holes into the wing. The holes
should extend into the front ply dihedral brace.
❏
5. Put the dowels into the wing and fit the wing
back onto the fuselage. Make any adjustments
needed to get the dowels to fit properly in the holes
in former F2. When satisfied with the fit, glue the
dowels into the wing with 6-minute epoxy. Use
caution not to get any epoxy on the fuselage.
