9. D GLUE THE FIREWALL TO THE CABIN BASE
Pin the 1/8" Balsa Cabin Base upside down on the
waxed paper covered plans on a flat work surface. Make sure
the Cabin Base is securely fastened over the top view of the
Fuselage on the plan for the next series of steps to insure a
straight fuselage. Check to see that the bottom of the Cabin
Base is facing up. Now, using epoxy, glue the 1/4" Plywood
Bulkhead #1, the Firewall, at 90 degrees to the Cabin Base.
(Remember the Cabin Base butts to the Firewall.) Use a
square or right triangle to insure that the Firewall is 90
degrees to the Cabin Base. GLUE THE BULKHEAD UPSIDE
DOWN TO THE CABIN BASE.
10. D GLUE BULKHEAD #2 TO THE CABIN BASE
Use epoxy and glue the 1/8" Plywood Bulkhead #2
upside down and 90 degrees to the Cabin Base. Use your
square or right triangle to check this. Center Bulkhead #2
over the Cabin Base to leave room for 3/32" Fuselage
Doubler on the Fuselage Side.
11. D GLUE BULKHEAD #4, 1/8" PLYWOOD, TO THE
CABIN BASE •
Use epoxy and glue Bulkhead #4 upside down and
90 degrees to the Cabin Base. Use a square or right triangle
to check this. Center this Bulkhead also, leaving 3/32" on
either side.
12. D GLUE THE FUSELAGE SIDES TO THE BULK-
HEADS AND CABIN BASE FROM BULKHEAD
#4 FORWARD
Use epoxy and glue the Fuselage Sides to the Cabin
Base Assembly at Bulkheads #1,2 and 4 and the Cabin
Base. Use a right triangle to insure that the sides are 90
degrees to the work surface when they are glued on.
Clamp or pin the Assembly in place until dry. DO NOT
GLUE THE FUSELAGE SIDES TO THE CABIN BASE BEHIND
BULKHEAD #4 YET!
