2. Using the 18" [460mm] basswood wing
struts to set the correct spacing, carefully glue
the die-cut 1/8" [3.2mm] balsa spacers (SM)
into all four strut mounts without inadvertently
gluing in the wing struts (two of the strut
mounts are shown in the photo).
❏
3. Sand the spacers even with the strut mounts.
❏
4. Test fit the strut mounts and four wing struts
into the fuselage. Slide the strut mounts as far
upward into the slots in the fuselage top as they
will go. Use the die-cut 1/8" [3.2mm] plywood
aft strut gauge (ASG) to set the aft strut
mounts at the correct angle. Use a 90° triangle
or a builder’s square to set the front strut
mounts. Make any adjustments required to get
the struts and strut mounts to fit correctly.
❏
5. Securely glue the strut mounts into position.
