❏
14. Use the remainder of the 3/8" x 15/16"
stick to make a fairing between the bottom of the
wing and former F2.
❏
15. You can now glue the stab and fin to the
fuselage. To increase the gluing area, glue some
leftover 3/8" stick to the inside of the fuselage sides
at the stab saddle.
❏
16. Place the stab on the fuselage and align with
the wing and center line of the fuselage. Use the
same string technique that you used for aligning the
wing. Be sure that the stab aligns with the wing
horizontally as well. When satisfied with the fit and
alignment, glue the stab to the fuselage with
30-minute epoxy.
❏
17. Glue the fin to the stab with 30-minute epoxy
using a 90 degree triangle for alignment. Be sure that
the fin is aligned with the centerline of the fuselage.
❏
18. When the fin is secure, glue the fairing blocks
into place.
❏
19. Fill in the area behind and in front of the stab
with leftover balsa. This area extends from the fuse
to the fin and from the fuse to the stab.
❏
20. Locate the tailwheel assembly. Attach the
assembly to the fuselage using CA. Use thin glass
cloth to glass the tube to the 1/8" die-cut ply
tailwheel bracket. Glue the 1/16" ply sides into
place. One goes on each side, sandwiching the core
and tube between them. Sand to final shape.
NOTE : If you plan to fly on grass you may want to
reinforce the mounting of the tailwheel tube by
wrapping it with a brass or aluminum sheet.
❏
21. Bring the rudder up to the fuse and mark the
protruding part of the tail wheel wire onto the rudder.
Drill a 3/32" hole into the rudder at this mark.
❏
22. While the wing is still on, build the landing
gear. The front wire is 1/4", the rear is 3/16".
Mount the front wire into the front block using the
nylon straps and screw it into place.
