❏ 8. Use a ballpoint pen to mark the edges of the cabin
frame anywhere it needs to be trimmed to align with the
fuselage side stringer. Remove the cabin frame, trim the
edges, refit and mark and trim again as necessary until
the sides of the cabin frame are even with the side
stringer all the way down both sides.
❏ 9. Make
spacers
for the die-cut 1/8" [3.2mm]
plywood cabin top formers F2C and F6C from thin
cardstock or double layers of a manila folder—
approximately .020" [.5mm] is the desired thickness.
❏ 10. Use 3M 75 Repositionable spray adhesive or
something similar to adhere the spacers to the back
of F6C and to the front of F2C.Test fit, then clamp the
formers to the fuselage as shown. Use medium CA
to glue the cabin top formers to the cabin top only.
❏ 11. Use curved-tip plastic-cutting scissors to trim
the cabin top along the molded in cutlines. Start first
by rough-cutting the cabin top approximately 3/16"
[4.8mm] from the cutlines. Then cut on the outside
edge of the cutlines to leave enough material for fine-
tuning by sanding. Note: Whenever cutting plastic
parts, always cut them slightly oversize. Then they
can be custom-fit by sanding with a bar sander.
❏ 12.Test fit the cabin top to the fuselage over the cabin
frame. Use a bar sander with 80-grit sandpaper to sand
the edges of the cabin top wherever necessary to get a
good fit all the way around. Proceed slowly and
carefully to get a nice fit.
