Aft. Hatch Structure

Continue to refer to the Hatch diagram on Plan Sheet 1 to build

the aft. section.

Locate HS1, HS2, HS3, HS4, HS5, HS12 (x2) and HS13 (x2).

Wood glue HS1 and HS2 together.

Glue both HS12 parts to the sides of the laminated HS1 and HS2.

Glue this assembly into HS3.

Glue the Hatch Spars (HS4 and HS5) across both HS12 parts.

Onto the ends of HS3 and both Hatch Spars, glue the HS13 parts.

When the aft. section has cured, glue and clamp it to the cured

Forward Hatch at HS6 while out of the Fuselage.

When the Hatch has cured, sheet the top of the Hatch with

⁄16"

balsa, leaving a little extra sheeting hanging over the sides; this

will be trimmed back later.

Locate the two Hatch Sidewalls. You will put these on while the

Hatch is seated in the Fuselage - ensuring alignment with the rest

of the Fuselage Walls.

Using thin CA, carefully tack the two Hatch Sidewalls to the

Hatch, making sure the Hatch does not become cemented to the

Fuselage.

Remove the Hatch and thoroughly glue the Hatch Sidewalls.
