❏ ❏ 14. Position the fuse side over the plan and glue the
die-cut 1/8" plywood battery bench support to the inside of
the right fuse side. When assembling the left side, position the
fuse over the plan and mark the location of the battery bench
support on the outside of the fuselage. Then, transfer the lines
to the inside of the fuselage and install the bench support.
❏ ❏ 15. Glue the die-cut 3/16" balsa stab saddle to the top
of the longeron. Make sure the front of the stab saddle
aligns with the mark for the aft edge of former F-6.
❏ 16. Return to step 12 and repeat the steps to assemble
the left fuse side.
❏ 17. Transfer the marks for the formers to the other side of
the longerons on the fuse sides.
❏ 1. From the leftover 1/4" x 1/4" balsa stick (don’t use the two
that have been set aside for making the pushrods) cut and glue
reinforcements to both sides, at the bottom of the die-cut 1/8"
plywood former F-2A. Make sure the sticks are flush with the
end of the tabs.
❏ 2. From the leftover 1/8" x 3/8" balsa stick, cut two pieces the
full width of the die-cut 1/8" balsa formers F-4 and F-5. Glue
the sticks to the aft side at the top and bottom of the formers.
❏ 3. Install former F-2A on the right fuse side so that the
embossed F-2A faces forward. Make sure F-2A is inserted into
the notches completely. Use a building square to hold F-2A
perpendicular to the fuse side while gluing the former in place.
❏ 4. Glue the die-cut 1/8" plywood former F-3 to the right
fuse side. Use a building square to hold F-3 perpendicular
to the fuse side while gluing the former in place.
❏ 5. Join the right fuse side to the left, keying formers F-2
and F-3 to the left fuse side. Lay the fuse on its left side and
glue F-2 and F-3 to the left fuse side, making sure they are
perpendicular to the fuse side. It may help to prop up the aft
end of the right fuse side while performing this step.
