Great Planes RV-4 40 Kit - GPMA0180 - Manual (Page 33)

❏ 15. Using a razor plane and sanding block, shape the
balsa blocks to match the fuselage.
❏ 16. Remove the fixture you've made to be sure that it
slides out of the fuselage freely and that no glue is holding
it in place. The slots in the blocks will now fit the stab and fin
when we install them later in the manual.
❏ 17. Put the fixture back into the slots. Wrap masking tape
around the tail to keep the fixture in place. This will help
prevent accidentally knocking the shaped blocks out of
place before gluing the stab and fin in place.
❏ 1. Mark a line down the center of the landing gear plate.
❏ 2. Measure 1-1/4" forward from fuselage former F3 and
mark a line perpendicular to the line you have drawn.
❏ 3. Place the aluminum landing gear so the center hole is
at the intersection of the two lines. Make sure that the landing
gear is parallel to former F3.
