Qi 5. Use thick CA to glue the fuselage doublers
onto the fuselage sides, aligning the top and front
edges. Make sure to glue the doublers to the sides
with the right and left written on them.
U 8. Pin the right fuselage side to the fuselage
plan. Use a straightedge to draw vertical lines on
the fuselage doubler and fuselage side at stations
"B" through "E". Also mark the 1/8" x 1/4" balsa
bottom cross brace, as shown on the plan.
Q 9. Remove the right fuselage side from your
building board and continue the lines around the
edges of the fuselage side.
Q 10. Hold the fuselage sides together (balsa-to-
balsa) aligning the edges. Transfer the marks to the
edges of the left fuselage side. Draw vertical lines on
the fuselage doubler and balsa side, connecting the
marks. Also mark the location of the 1/8" x 1/4"
balsa bottom cross brace.
Ql 11. Cut 5-1/2" long pieces from each of the two
1 / 8 " x 1 / 4 " x 10" balsa sticks.
U 6. On the left fuselage side place two marks at
the locations shown.
Q 7. Clamp the fuselage sides together so that the
balsa sides are against each other and the edges
align. Set the assembly on a piece of leftover
plywood with the two marks you made facing up. At
each mark, drill a 3/16" hole through the fuselage
sides. Make sure the holes are drilled perpendicular
to the fuselage sides.
Q 12. From the remaining 1/8" x 1/4" balsa
sticks, cut and glue two side braces at station "E".
NOTE: The front edges of the braces are glued
along the station line.
