D 2. Glue F-1A to F-1B, center this assembly
side-to-side on the top of F-l and line up the
front face with the front of F-l, then glue this
assembly to the top of F-l.
D 3. Trial fit F-2A in place and sand the opening
as necessary for fuel tank clearance (you may
have to remove the fuel tank through this open-
ing sometime in the future!). Glue F-2A to the
top of F-2.
D 4. Glue F-2D to the top of the alignment base
(AB). Note that the rear edge of F-2D is located
1/4" in front of the rear edge of AB.
D 8. In the same manner, glue F-4A and F-5A
to the aft deck base in the locations you previ-
ously marked.
D 9. In the same manner, glue the F-6A and F-6B
assembly to the aft deck base. The "former lo-
cation lines" which you previously drew indi-
cate the fore/aft position of F-6B.
D 10. Glue the balsa front stringers into the
notches in F-1B, F-2A and F-2D, then sand off
the stringers flush with the rear surface of F-
2D.
D 5. Glue F-3A to F-3B, and F-6A to F-6B.
D 6. Lay the F- 6A and F-6B assembly on the F-6
detail drawing and mark the location of the
center of each rear stringer on F-6A.
D 11. Glue the 3/8" balsa hood sides to the sides
of F-1A, F-2A and F-2D, to the top edge of the
fuse sides, and to the front of F-3A. Do not
cut off the front of the hood sides which
protrude beyond F-1A.
INSTALL COCKPIT FLOOR
D 1. Edge glue the two 1/8" x 2" x 7-1/4" balsa
sheets together to make the cockpit floor.
Sand smooth.
D 2. Lay the cockpit floor on the top edges of the
hood sides, between F-2D and F-3A. While
holding in place, use a pen up through the wing
saddle opening to mark the inside edges of the
hood sides on the cockpit floor. Trim the edges
of the cockpit floor along these lines (leave a
little extra for fitting), then sand the edges as
necessary for a good fit between the hood sides.
D 7. Position the F-3A and F-3B assembly on the
aft deck base, centered side-to-side. The front
of F-3A must line up with the front of F-3 and
this assembly must be perpendicular (square)
to the aft deck base. Glue in place.
