FUSELAGE
1. D MARKTHE INSIDE OF ONE FUSELAGE SIDE
"RIGHT" AND THE INSIDE OF THE OTHER FUSE-
LAGE SIDE"LEFT"
2. D RELIEVE (CUT OUT) THE REAR PART OF THE
WING SADDLE AND THE STAB SADDLE TO
MATCH THE PLAN
Use and X-Acto knife or similar tool to cut out the
balsa wood on both Fuselage Sides. Make all cuts accur-
ate as these areas partially determine Wing and Stabilizer
placement.
3. D GLUE 3/32" BALSA DOUBLERS TO THE INSIDES
OF BOTH FUSELAGE SIDES
Draw a line 1/8" below the top of each Fuselage
Side (inside) as the Doubler stops here to allow room for
Cabin Base. Cut and glue 3/32" Balsa Doubler stock, ver-
tical grain, to the inside of each Fuselage Side up to the
lines you drew. Use the Balsa 3/32" x 2-5/8" x 30" stock for
the Doublers. Also the Doubler starts 1/4" back from the
front of the Fuselage Side to leave room for the Firewall
(Bulkhead #1). Trim and sand the Doubler even with the
Fuselage Side at the bottom. MAKE SURE YOU MAKE
RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES!
4. D MARK BULKHEAD POSITIONS ON THE INSIDES
OF BOTH FUSELAGE SIDES
Mark the positions of Bulkheads #2,4,5,6,7 and 8 on
the inside of the Right Fuselage Side (extend the lines on
the plan so you can see where to make the marks when
you lay the Right Fuselage Side over the plan). Lay the Left
Fuselage Side next to the Right Fuselage Side and extend
the lines onto the Left Fuselage Side.
