7. Referring to the photo, confirm that you have properly
labeled the fuse sides. Select the right fuse side, and cut off
the tab as shown. Note: The removal of this tab provides
you the appropriate right thrust pre-engineered into the
firewall placement.
❏
1. Cover the plans with Plan Protector and then pin the
fuse top in position, being sure that the fuse top aligns with
the firewall. Hint: Keeping in mind that the fuse is being
built upside-down, notice the right thrust pre-engineered
into the fuse top and fuse sides.
❏
2. Position the die-cut 1/8" ply formers F-3, F-4, F-6 and
F-7 vertically in their slots in the fuse top. Do not use glue
until told to do so.
❏
3. Fit the left and right fuse sides to the formers and fuse
top. Do not glue.
❏
4. Fit the die-cut 1/8" ply aft fuse bottom and mid fuse
bottom in position on the fuse sides and formers.
❏
5. Use a square to check that the fuse sides are
perpendicular to the building board. Double-check to make
sure each former is square. Using thin CA, glue each
former to the fuse top, bottom and sides. Note: We
selected thin CA due to its excellent penetration and rapid
cure time. After further assembly you will double-check all
the joints and use medium CA as necessary.
❏
6. Glue the fuse sides to the fuse top and bottom with
thin CA. Leave the fuse assembly pinned to the building
board until the CA has cured, then unpin it from the plans.
❏
7. Carefully sand the aft fuse bottom and the mid fuse
bottom flush with each other.
❏
8. Cut one 5-5/8" long wing bolt block from the 1/4" x
1" x 18" birch ply stick. Sand a taper on each end until the
wing bolt block fits precisely in the slots in the fuse
doublers. Note: It is very important that the fit of the wing
bolt block be perfect.
