❏
15. Repeat steps 13 and 14 to mount the paper tube
over the other wing bolt. Sand the paper tubes flush with
the belly pan bottom.
❏
16. Turn the airplane right-side up. Cut both wing bolts
off, leaving 1/4" protruding above the wing bolt block. Turn
the airplane upside-down and remove the wing from the fuse.
❏
1. Position and glue F-2 to the fuse sides with thin CA.
❏
2. From the 1/4" x 1" x 12-3/8" birch ply stick (leftover
from the wing bolt block), cut two 5-3/4" landing gear rails.
Insert the landing gear rails through F-2 and into the
notches in F-3 until they are flush with the bottom of the
aft side of F-3. (A small amount of the landing gear rails
will angle past F-3 into the wing saddle.) Note: Pay special
attention not to warp F-3 when you are inserting the landing
gear rails. F-3 must stay straight.
❏
3. Use 6-minute epoxy to secure the landing gear rails
into F-2 and F-3.
❏
4. Position and glue the die-cut 1/8" ply landing gear
plate in place. Note: The landing gear plate glues flat to
the landing gear rails.
❏
5. After the epoxy has cured completely, carefully sand
the aft end of the gear rails flush with the aft side of F-3 (in
the wing saddle).
❏
6. Position and glue the die-cut 1/8" ply lower firewall
support and forward fuse bottom with thin CA. Note: The
lower firewall support is installed so that the shorter side
glues to the right fuse side (as shown, on the photo’s right).
❏
7. Sand the lower firewall support and the forward fuse
bottom flush with each other.
Finish the Bottom of the Fuselage
