13. D GLUE IN THE 1/4" x 1/4" BALSA BRACES

BETWEEN BULKHEADS #1 AND #2

Custom cut and glue in 1/4" square Balsa behind

Bulkhead #1, in front of Bulkhead #2 and between
Bulkheads #1 and 2, top and bottom.

14. D GLUE THE PLYWOOD REAR HOLD DOWNS TO

THE FUSELAGE; ADD THE 1/4" SQUARE BALSA

Glue the 1/4" Plywood Rear Hold Downs and 1/4" x

1/4" Balsa to the rear of the wing opening in the Fuselage.
Use epoxy to glue in the Plywood Hold Down. Position the
Hold Downs as shown on the plan. Glue the 1/4" square

stock to the Hold Downs first, then glue in the Hold Downs.

15. D GLUE BULKHEADS #5,6,7 AND 8 TO THE

CABIN BASE

Position the Bulkheads on the lines you drew on the

Cabin Base and at 90 degrees to the Cabin Base. Glue the

Bulkheads in place. Slightly sand the Bulkhead sides so the
Bulkheads will mate with the Fuselage Sides better.

16. D GLUE THE FUSELAGE SIDES TO BULKHEADS

#5,6,7 AND 8 AND THE CABIN BASE

When you glue, check to see that the Fuselage

Sides are 90 degrees to the work surface. (The Cabin Base
should still be pinned to the plan.) When the glue is dry, you
may remove the Fuselage from the plan and work surface.
