D 15. Glue these "shims" to the fuselage doubler
between formers F3 and F5 with the thin end near
F3. Refer to the F3, F4 and F5 cross sectional
views on the plans to help clarify where the shims
are positioned. D 18. Apply a bead of CA to the stringers and the
formers and hold the sheeting in place with tape
while the glue cures. Trim the ends of the sheeting
flush with formers F3 and F5. Do this to both sides
of the turtle deck.
D 19. Sand the top of the turtle deck sheeting with
a sanding block to obtain a flat surface on which to
mount the top block.
D 16. Make the turtle deck sheeting by cutting a
1" x 7-1/2" triangle off one corner of the 1/16" x 3"
x 14-7/8" balsa sheet (SKY6F17). Flip the triangle
over and glue it to the rest of the sheet as shown in
the sketch above. Sand both sides of the sheeting
smooth.
D 20. Glue the 3/16" x 1-1/2" x 14" balsa turtle
deck top (SKY6F16) in place.
D 17. Position the wide end of the turtle deck
sheeting against the front sheeting at former F3
and glue it to the shim with thin CA. D 21. Use a razor plane and a sanding block to
rough shape the turtle deck top to the cross
sections shown on the plans.
