37. Blend the fairing strip to the fuselage bottom with

some lightweight balsa filler.

38. Using a leftover piece of 1/16" [1.6mm] balsa

sheeting, cut a piece 4-3/8" [111mm] long. Notch one side
of this piece as shown in the above sketch.

39. Place the piece on the leading edge of the wing,

against the fuselage. Mark the sheet where it needs to be
cut flush with the bottom of the fuselage.

40. Tack glue this filler strip to the leading edge of the

wing, being careful not to glue it or the wing to the fuselage.
Remove the wing and reinforce the glue joint.

41. Using a leftover piece of 1/32" [0.8mm] balsa sheet,

cut a piece 4-3/8" x 1-1/2" [111 x 38mm]. Glue this piece to
the filler strip and the bottom wing sheeting.

42. Use leftover 1/32" [0.8mm] balsa to cut, fit and glue

filler strips to the end of the sheeting.

For the following steps make sure the horizontal stab and
vertical fin are pinned in place on the fuselage.

1. Use a tissue dampened with denatured alcohol or

other suitable solvent to clean the servo cases so the
mounting tape will adhere. Use double-sided foam mounting
tape (GPMQ4440, not included) to mount the elevator and
rudder servos to the fuse sides where shown on the plan.
