SHEET THE AFT END OF THE FUSELAGE
❏ 1. Glue the 3/16" x 3/16" x 24" [4.8 x 4.8 x 610mm]
balsa stringers into the notches in the formers as
shown. As you proceed, make certain the formers
are vertical (especially F6) as you glue in the
stringers. Glue two shorter stringers along both sides
of the fin. Make certain they follow the same contour
as the top of the fuselage.
❏ 2. Use four 3/32" x 3" x 24" [2.4 x 75 x 610mm]
balsa sheets to sheet the sides and top of the aft end
of the fuselage as shown.The same as was done on
the bottom, sand the sheeting even with the stringers
to accommodate the thicker balsa corners.
❏ 3. Cut both 3/8" x 3" x 24" [9.5 x 75 x 610mm]
balsa sheets to the correct length, then glue them
into position for the corners. After the glue hardens
use a razor plane to do the initial, rough shaping.
❏ 4. Glue both die-cut 1/8" [3.2mm] plywood formers
pieces 9T into position on both sides of the fin.
❏ 5. Shape a piece of leftover 1/8" [3.2mm] balsa to
fit between the top and bottom of former 10 as
shown. Make sure there is adequate clearance for
the pushrod.
