BUILD THE FUSELAGE FRAME THE BOTTOM OF THE FUSELAGE ❏ 1. The fuselage plan consists of two pieces. Cut
one of the pieces at the lines, then tape it to the other plan aligning the lines.
❏ 2. Cut the bottom view of the fuselage plan from
the rest of the plan (or leave the plan together and position the bottom view over your flat building board). Cover the plan with Great Planes Plan Protector or wax paper so glue will not adhere.
❏ 3. Glue a die-cut 1/8" [3.2mm] plywood bottom
inside stabilizer mount (BI) over a die-cut 1/8" [3.2mm] plywood bottom outside stabilizer mount (BO). Note that the bottom, angled edges of the parts should align (remember the fuselage is being built upside-down so for now, the bottom is the upward facing edge). Note: Unless otherwise specified, all of the fuselage formers are 1/8" [3.2mm] plywood.
❏ 4. Make another assembly the same way, except
make them a mirror image for the other side.
Refer to this photo for the following two steps.
❏ 5. Drill a 7/64" [2.8mm] or 1/8" [3.2mm] hole
through one of the die-cut 1/16" [1.6mm] plywood bottom stabilizer mount triplers. Note that two of these parts are included, but only the one is used. Glue the tripler to the inside of the left stabilizer mount as shown in the photo. Glue the other, smaller tripler to the inside of the right stabilizer mount.
❏ 6. Glue together the three die-cut 1/8" [3.2mm]
plywood parts of the firewall bottom 1AB, 1BB and 1CB. Make sure you glue them together in that order and that the stamped names of the parts all face upward (forward).
❏ 7. Drill 7/32" [5.6mm] holes through the two
punchmarks in the firewall where indicated by the arrows in the sketch for the bottom engine mount blind nuts. Tap two 8-32 blind nuts into the holes in the back of the firewall. Use thin CA to permanently secure the blind nuts. If you will be installing retractable landing gear, drill 9/64" [3.6mm] holes through the two other punchmarks for the nose steering guide tubes.
