Specifications
Glue the edges of F7 and install into the Fuselage Sidewalls. The
Hatch Bolt Assembly must be pointing forward and be at the top.
See Figure 29.
If your Fuel Tank Floor has cured into F4, it is time to glue the
laminated Firewall to the forward end of the Fuel Tank Floor.
Apply glue to the end of the Fuel Tank Floor. (Note: We are NOT
gluing the Fuselage Sidewalls to the Firewall until the Firewall has
cured to the Fuel Tank Floor.)
Now attach the Firewall to the end of the Fuel Tank Floor. Clamp
well enough to allow handling.
Locate the two Wing Saddle Doublers.
Dryfit them into position (along the inside of the Fuselage, top)
and glue with thin CA. See Figure 30.
When the Fuel Tank Floor has cured with the Firewall, glue along
the side edges of the Firewall and press Fuselage Sidewalls onto
the tabs of the Firewall. Clamp until glue cures.
When the Firewall sides have cured, cut two pieces of
1
/
2" x
3
/
16"
balsa about 10" long each.
Slide each piece along the upper inside of the Fuselage Sidewall,
starting at the Firewall, and butting up against F4.
Trim each stick flush with the firewall. See Figure 31. Use thin CA
to secure each stick in place.
Cut two more
1
/
2" x
3
/
16" wide sticks of balsa, each about 2
1
/
4" long.
Shape each piece to fit snugly between the forward end of the
Wing Saddle Doubler and the recently installed stick, as shown in
Figure 32. Repeat for the opposite side.
Locate the two Hatch Hooks and glue into the rear slots of F2B.
The curved corner of each Hatch Hook must be along the
bottom side. See Figure 33 & Plan Sheet 1.
