25. D GLUE ON FORMERS 1A and 2A; SAND THEM SO
HOOD TOP FITS; TRIAL FIT THE FUEL TANK
Glue formers 1A and 2A to the tops of bulkheads
1 and 2. When the glue is dry sand the tops of these
formers to a slight angle so the hood top will mate squarely
when glued. Trial fit the assembled fuel tank. Carve out a
section of former 2A for fuel tank clearance if necessary. If
you leave the tank in permanently, plug all fuel lines so
balsa dust does not enter the lines.
26. D GLUE IN THE DASH; ADD FORMER 3A/3B
Pin the hood top in place to determine the height
of the dash. Put the cockpit floor in position to determine
the placement of the dash on the fuse side. Glue the dash
to the fuse sides. Do not glue on the hood top yet. Glue
former 3A/3B to the fuselage at the rear of the cockpit on
top of bulkhead #3.
27. D GLUE IN THE COCKPIT FLOOR
Prepare and glue the 1/8" cockpit floor between
the dash and former 3A/3B on the lines you drew earlier.
28. D PREPARE THE BALSA HOOD SIDE PIECES
The balsa hood side pieces need to be twisted
slightly to fit the front of the fuse. To make it easy to twist
the balsa as required, "paint" some ammonia on both
pieces of the balsa sheets. Place one end in a vise and
twist the other end somewhat more than is required. Hold
or clamp this end until the wood dries (about 15 minutes).
Note that the twist in the right piece is opposite that of the
left piece.
