6. Test fit the front former and the landing gear former to
the balsa crutch (22). Note that the tab on the front of the
crutch should be on the right side. Sand the front of the
crutch until it is the same width as the front former.
❏
7. Test fit the crutch, the front former and the landing gear
former into the fuselage. The parts will have to be inserted
one at a time, then joined inside. Make adjustments as
necessary so the front former is even with the front of the
fuselage and the landing gear former rests in the groove.
❏
8. Once you have fit all the parts into position, permanently
glue them in place with 30-minute epoxy.
❏
9. After the epoxy from the previous step has hardened,
glue the main landing gear wire and the plywood retainer
(5)
into position. Before the epoxy hardens, fit the section of
foam that you removed back into the slot in the fuse.
