edges with a sanding block and glue them together as
shown using medium CA. Sand the glue joints smooth.
Make two assemblies.
D 3. Align the aft edge of the nose blocks with the line
drawn on each fuse doubler. The notch in the nose
blocks will align with the notch in the doubler. The nose
blocks are approximately 3/16" oversized around their
perimeter. This is to allow extra for alignment. The nose
blocks will be sanded to final shape later. Glue the nose
blocks in place with medium CA.
D 4. Test fit Former F2 in place on the left fuse side so
that F2A is in front of F2. Press it down into its slot and
use a 90 degree triangle to keep it perpendicular to the
fuse side. Make sure that F2 is flush with the front of the
wing saddle. Glue it in place with thin CA.
D 5. Test fit the die-cut 1/8" ply former F3 in place on
the left fuse side. Press it down into its slot and use a 90
degree triangle to keep it perpendicular to the fuse side.
Glue it in place with thin CA .
D 6. Position the die-cut 1/8" ply formers F4 and F5 in
their respective slots on the left fuse side. Press them
down into their slots and just tack-glue in place with a
drop of thin CA .
D 7. Position the right fuse side in place so that the F2
and F3 formers key into their slots. Glue the fuselage
side to the F2 and F3 only.
D 8. Working directly over the plan, position the 1/8"
balsa aft fuse top (that you assembled earlier) into
place and position the formers to key into their notches.
Pull the aft end of the fuselage together, making sure the
fuselage is symmetrically lined up with the top, and glue
the top to the fuse sides and the formers.
D 9. Examine all of the internal seams and joints from
former F3 aft. Use medium or thick CA to reinforce all
glue joints.
