21. After the filler has fully dried, remove the wing from
the fuselage. Cut and sand the spacers and the filler to
match the contour of the wing.
❏
22. Cut a 36" plastic outer pushrod tube in half,
making two 18" lengths. Sand the outside of the tubes with
coarse sandpaper so the glue will stick.
❏
23. Install the tubes through the guide holes in the
formers. Approximately 1" of the tubes should protrude
outside the slots at the aft end of the fuse.
❏
24. Glue the tubes into the slots at the end of the
fuselage with microballoons and epoxy. Completely fill the
slot with the microballoons and epoxy so it can be sanded
flush later. Glue the tubes to the formers with medium CA.
❏
25. After the epoxy has cured, use your bar sander and
150-grit sandpaper to sand the outer pushrod tubes and
epoxy filler flush with the fuselage sides.
❏
26. Glue the stab base in place with thin CA.
❏
27. Use 30-minute epoxy to glue the firewall in position.
Use masking tape or clamps to hold the firewall until the
epoxy cures.
❏
28. From the 3/8" x 3/8" x 12" balsa triangle, cut two
pieces 1-1/4" long. Glue them in place on top of the
laminated wing bolt blocks with 6-minute epoxy.
❏
29. From the remaining 3/8" x 3/8" balsa triangle, cut
pieces to fit and glue them to the back of the firewall with
6-minute epoxy.
