D 14. Draw a centerline on the forward edge of the aileron.
Sand the forward edge of the aileron to a "V." Refer to the
cross section of the wing on the plans for the desired angle.

Well, you are about halfway through the framing stage, so

clean up your workbench, have a soda, and let's build
the fuse.

D 4. Glue F-3 and F-4 into the notches of the forward
crutch and the aft fuse top as shown. Use a triangle to hold
all the formers vertical while the CA cures.

D 1. Locate both die-cut 3/32" balsa fuse sides. Place the
fuse sides on a flat work surface with the wing saddles
facing toward each other as shown in the photo. Use
medium CA to glue the die-cut 1/8" ply fuse doublers in
position. Note: Be sure that you make a right and left fuse
side. The edges must be flush and the 1/8" x 1" notch at

the forward end of each fuse side exactly match the
doublers notch.

IMPORTANT: Drill a 3/16"dia. hole through the die punch
marks in formers F4 - F6 before assembly. These holes are
for the pushrod tubes. Hint: Lay the part on a piece of
leftover wood when drilling, to prevent break-out.

Note: The formers are stamped only with the necessary
part of their names.

Note: The fuse is built upside-down over the plans. The
plan sheet may be cut apart if space is a problem.

D 2. Cover the bottom view of the fuse plans with
waxed paper.

D 5. Cut two 1/8" x 1/4" x 3" ply servo tray doublers from

leftover die-cut ply. Glue these doublers as shown above,

to the die-cut 1/8" ply servo tray.

D 6. Glue the servo tray into the notches of F-3 and F-4

with the doublers facing down toward the plans.

D 3. Position and pin the die-cut 3/32" balsa aft fuse top
and die-cut 1/8" ply forward crutch over the plans.

Note: All fuse formers must be installed with their
die-stamped numbers facing forward. This is to ensure
correct alignment of the pushrod holes and locking tabs.

D 7. Glue F-5, F-6, and F-7 into their notches on the aft
fuse top. Make sure that the die-stamped numbers face

toward the nose of the model.
