Looks Great Joe!
A few pointers.... I will get some pictures posted of what I'm talking about once I get home from the airport tonight.
There are two plywood strips that are used for servo rails/doublers for the elevator and rudder servos. There are two more slightly shorter plywood strips that get used for hatch tongues.
There will be a cross grain piece of balsa that gets glued immediately forward of the landing gear. It is easily recognizable because it will have cut outs in the two corners that meet the main landing gear wires. This gets permanently glued in place.
There will be a short cross grain piece that has a funky looking slot cut out of it that fits the bottom aft side of the firewall where the nose gear wire exits. This gets permanently glued in place.
The hatch is in two cross grain balsa pieces (both the same size) that need to be glued together, one has a tang and one has a slot. The shorter plywood strip pieces get glued on halfway on the front of the hatch as a tongue and back of the hatch as a tongue. Once covered with shrink film it will have a natural springiness that makes it curve and hold nicely and tightly to the bottom of the fuselage. The hatch does not get glued to the fuselage. It is meant to be entirely removable for battery access.
The top forward piece will only fit in the top forward position. The only piece you will have left after that is the windshield piece of balsa.
You will find 6 balsa strips about 1/4" wide. One goes directly on the aft top edge of F3 (wing trailing edge bulkhead), underneath the stringers. This supports the stringers and provides another glue surface for the wing hold down dowels.
Another balsa strip will serve the same stringer support function, but on the aft edge of the landing gear plate.
The other balsa strips get glued at the stringer cross supports, from top to bottom, forming a stick built fuselage formers. (the easy way!
)
The rudder push rod will exit on top of the fuselage, just forward of the horizontal stabilizer. It will poke through the covering as there is no balsa sheet in that area. a piece of 1/16th scrap can be fitted there if desired, but it really isn't needed.
I think that about covers what's left on the fuse.... please let us know if you have any questions and I'll get ya some pics tonight!
Sincerely,
Doug and Becky
