Dynaflite GPMA0525 - Manual (Page 6)

sides of the formers are on the left side of the
fuse, glue the formers to the fuse bottom with
thin CA. As you proceed, use a small building
square to keep the formers perpendicular to your
building board.
❏
9. Position one of the die-cut 3/16" balsa upper
fuse sides over the side view of the fuse plan,
aligning the front where indicated on the plan.
Mark the location of formers 2 and 3 on the fuse
side with a straightedge and a ballpoint pen. This
is now the left fuse side.
❏
10.Transfer the lines from the left fuse side to
the right fuse side.
❏
11. Securely pin the 1/2" x 3/4" x 1" balsa blocks
at the front and back of the fuse to the plan.
Making sure the fuse remains aligned with the
plan, pin the front and back of the fuse bottom to
the blocks.
❏
12. Position both upper fuse sides on the fuse
assembly, aligning the marks you made with
formers 2 and 3.
❏
13. Temporarily hold the upper fuse sides to
formers 2 and 3 with T-pins. Pull the aft end of the
upper fuse sides to formers 5 and 6 and check
alignment. Adjust the position of the upper fuse
sides on formers 2 and 3 until they align near the
aft end when you pull them to formers 5 and 6.
❏
14. When you have achieved the alignment
described in the preceding step, use thin or
medium CA to glue the upper fuse sides only to
formers 2 and 3.
❏
15. Carefully checking alignment as you proceed,
use thin or medium CA to glue the upper fuse
sides to formers 4, 5 and 6.
❏
16. Pull the upper fuse sides to each other and
to the fuse bottom. Use medium CA to glue the
upper fuse sides to the fuse bottom and to former
1. Refrain from gluing the fuse to the balsa block.
But, if you do, it’s no problem because you can
just break the balsa block free and sand later.
❏
17. From the 1/8" x 1/4" x 24" balsa stick, cut
three 3/4" long pieces and glue them together to
make the tail block. Cut a 1/8" round notch in
one side of the tail block to accommodate the
antenna guide tube.
