you made earlier. Before the glue cures, sight across
the top of both sides to double check the alignment.
9. Slip bulkhead B over the outside of the
fuselage. Do NOT glue until the next step.
12. Glue bulkhead C to the fuselage sides with
6-minute epoxy. The bulkhead is slightly large so as
not to bind on the sides. Use leftover 1/8" x 1/4"
balsa sticks to reinforce the bulkhead/fuselage joint
as shown in the photo. The 1/8" x 1/4" stick above
the lower deck is glued to the front of the bulkhead.
The stick below the lower deck is glued to the aft side
of the bulkhead and INSIDE the fuselage.
13. Build bulkheads F and G over the fuselage
drawing using leftover 1/4" x 1/2" balsa sticks.
14. Pull the tail together and hold it in position
with clothespins. Do NOT glue until later.
10. Glue the top and bottom deck into position
with 30-minute epoxy. Also glue bulkhead B to the
fuselage sides and both decks with 30-minute epoxy.
Each deck spans from the firewall back to bulkhead
D. The rear of the lower deck is installed 9/16" up
from the bottom of bulkhead D. Use masking tape as
needed to hold the assembly together while the epoxy
cures. 30-minute epoxy is used to give enough time to
position the parts and also for strength.
11. Glue the doubler to bulkhead C using the
bottom curves to align the doubter.
Use this photo for the next four steps.
15. Lightly sand the sides of bulkheads F and G
to match the taper of the sides. Install them in the
sides and hold them in position with pins. Do NOT
glue until later.
16. Place the fuselage upright over the fuselage
drawing. Align the center mark on each bulkhead
with the line you drew down the plan earlier. You
will need to sight down from above the fuselage as it
will not rest flat on the drawing. Adjust the tail, as
