Dynaflite DYFA3040 - Manual (Page 18)

1-1 37. Glue two sheets of 1/8" x 3" x 24" balsa
together to form a sheet 6" wide. Sand the outer
side of this sheet flat and smooth. Cut, fit and
glue this sheet into position to the left fuselage
side between side formers A and D with the
smooth side out. Align the top edge of the sheet
even with the top of the top deck. Note: This
sheet should extend only to former D and
should not cover DD. Wet the sheeting as
needed to allow it to bend better.
Q 40. Use some more leftover 1/8" balsa
sheeting to cut, fit and glue filler strips between
the side sheeting and the ply fuselage sides at
the wing saddle area. Angle the strips slightly to
conform to the 6° dihedral angle of the wing.
Note: There is a small section of sheeting that
needs to be added at bulkhead D. This will be
added later when the fuselage bottom is
sheeted.
D 38. Make and glue a second balsa sheet to
the right fuselage side.
Q 39. Using some leftover 1/8" balsa sheeting
cut, fit and glue filler strips between the
sheeting you just added and the fuselage top
deck. You only need to do this in the area of the
front and rear cockpits, between top formers IP
and CT and between CT and DT.
Q 41. Use 1/8" x 3" x 30" balsa to sheet the top
of the fuselage between AT and IP Also sheet
the area between the front and rear CT's.
LI 42. Use leftover 1/8" x 3" balsa sheeting to
sheet the bottom of the fuselage between AB
and BB.
Before the rear of the fuselage is sheeted the wing
must be fitted to the fuselage. So, it's time to:
