needed, to get the center of each bulkhead to align
properly. When you are satisfied that everything is
aligned properly, glue the tail together. Also glue
bulkhead F and G to the fuselage sides.
17. Glue the top ply part of bulkheads F and G
into position. Note that the top part of F goes in front
of the lower part of F. The rear of the top part of G
goes 1/2" in front of the lower part of G.
18. Cut three 1 /4" x 1 /2" x 24" balsa sticks to a
length of 19". Glue these top rear stringers to
bulkheads E, F and G.
21. Use leftover 1/4" x 1/2" balsa sticks to
frame between the bottom stringers at bulkhead E.
Just tack glue them into position at this time as you
may need to adjust them when the wing is fitted.
19. Notch the bottom stringers to accept the die-
cut 1/8" ply tailwheel plate. The correct position for
the bracket will allow the 1/4" x 1/2" stringers,
added in the next step, to extend 1 /4" below the
bottom of the 1/4" x 15/16" side stringers. When
satisfied with the fit glue the die-cut plate into
position with 6-minute epoxy.
20. Cut two 1/4" x 1/2" x 30" balsa sticks to a
length of 28-1/2". Fit and glue these bottom
stringers into position. You will need to notch them at
bulkheads F and G. They should extend 1 /4" below
the 1/4" x 15/16" side stringers. You can let them
extend into the area where the tailwheel plate is
mounted if desired.
22. Glue the 1 /4" ply wing hold down plate into
place with 6-minute epoxy. Use some leftover
1/4" x 3/8" basswood sticks to reinforce above the
ply plate.
23. Roll the fuselage over and glue Bulkheads
B-1 and D-1 into place. Bulkhead B-1 is glued
3-1/16" behind Bulkhead B and bulkhead D-1
glued 2" behind bulkhead D.
is
24. Cut and glue the stringers between bulkheads
B and B-1 and between bulkheads D and D-1. Use
leftover 1/4" x 1/2" balsa sticks.
