LJ 4. Use your bar sander to bevel the top edges of

the die-cut plywood wing protectors. Glue the wing
protectors to the top of the trailing edge of the wing
with medium CA so the inner edges are 3/4" from
the centerline of the wing.

Q 4. Remove the T-pins, then lift F2 from the plan
and peel off the wax paper. Reinforce the glue joints
in the corners with medium CA.

Q 5. Build F3 and F4 from the 1/8" x 1/4" x 24"
balsa stick the same way you built F2.

BUILD THE FORMERS

I—I 1. Arrange the plan so the fuselage drawing is
over your building board. Then cover the drawings
of F2,F3 and F4 with wax paper.

Q 2. Make the two vertical side pieces of F2 from the

1/4" x 1/4" x 15" balsa stick you used for the wing

gussets. Pin them in position over the plan.

PREPARE THE FUSE SIDES

LJ 1. Remove the 3/32" die-cut balsa fuselage
sides
from their die sheets. Temporarily pin them
together and use your bar sander and 150-grit
sandpaper to remove slivers or die-cutting
irregularities, and make sure the sides are identical.

LJ 3. Cut the horizontal pieces or F-2 from the same
balsa stick. Glue them in position with thin CA.

LJ 2. Separate the fuse sides, then lay them on your

work bench as a mirror image and mark one as the

right inside and the other as the left inside.
