ouiro torr'FlLjUS', vou will need the lollowing tools:
Ä i""i-t"t
*iin " linely toothed blade, a balsa-knite' a sanding block
"itn ä f"" sheets of sanding paper
(both tine and medium grain)'-a
iä"d-Oriff *itft I and s mm-dritts, a small hand-vise'
a few cloth-pins
ä"J "ot" Scotch-tape to hold together
parts to be glued as well as
ä f"*'."0"1"s
'T'-type pins (whi;h will not be necessary il you are
i"lng .ot"
cyäno-acrylate type cement, such as
'zAcKl" 'zAP" 'Hot-

fÄi you|. gru"ing jobs, we advise you to get the following
adh11v:::
Balsa to Balsa:
'ZACKI' trom MULTIPLEX, 'ZAP" or 'HOT STUFF' (in
the tlc
and Canada): these
'ultra-tast' cements
will m2 I both cloth-pins and vises obsolete' s'nce lt
cures in 5 to lO seconds
- white glue' such as UHU-
HART, or'TITEBOND' or
'wHILHOLD''
Balsa to Spruce:'2Äökt', o,'z^p', "''Hot Stuff ' UHU-HART'
TITEBoN D'
WHILHOLD.
Plastic to Wood: contact-cemenls, such as Pattex'
Greenit' Franklin's
etc.
Metal to Wood: Two-part epoxy-cements, such as HOBBYPOXY'S
For
mula 1 and 2, UHU-PLUS, or DEVCON 5 Min'
The Fu8elage
Assembling of the various building{roups must be carried
out on a
o".r""ti" rüt uno straight building board about 44" x 8"
(110 x 20 cm)
Fr Jo'rv'" in" or"*ingion this board and protect the Plans

olastic sheet, which will prevent the various parls belng

Before you start the actual building ol the model'
you will have to

fuselage. Glue both parts together, then pin them down onto the olan
to let them dry completely.
Ouite in the same way, but using this time the side-view on the plan
for alignment purposes, join together the fuselage-sides 4 and S, glue
them together and pin them down on the plan to let them drv.
Lift off the bottom and the sides of the tusetage trom the ;lan, and il
necessary, trim their contour at the glue seams. However, in trimming
the parts, do not alter thejr shape.
Now glue the tuselage reinforcement doublers 6 to the fuselage;ides
using contact cement.
Caretull
You must obtain one left fuselage side and one right fuselage side! Once
the fuselage is assembted, theruselage reintorcement dotblers shoutd
be on the inllde ol the tusetage. pay attention and check that you have
one left and right side betore glueing everything togetherl
Using a flet-tip pen, draw the contour of the tuselage reinforcement
doubler on the tuselage side itselt. Coat the surfaces with gtue and tet
the glue evaporate, tollowing in this the glue manufactüre/s instructions.
Place the doubler h the corect posjtion and press it lighfly into place.
The fuselage-side and its doubler are now aligned along the top edge.
Along the bottom edge, there is still an overlap of 6 mm (t %"): this;ill
allow th€ tuselage side to coverthe fuselage bottom during the assembly
srage.

Using the same method, position doubler 3 on the fuselage bottom.
Part 3 willovenunpart 1 by about 1O mm (1q6") at the front e;d. Correct
the contour ot these two parts with light touches of the sanding block.
Using the 3 x 5 mm spars isupptied, cut the length the small pieces that
are going to make the fuselage tormers at the EE and FF sections.
These small pieces may be somewhat longer than indicated on the
plan. Each time, pin the top and the bottom braces onto the olan. Cut
both sides braces to the exäct length shown on the ptan an; gtue all
four parts together You will obtain two reinforcing frames which will
act as fuselage lorme|s and which wi give stifiness and alignment to the
luselage where needed.
Nor,\, pin down again the fuselage bottom to the plan. Using yourfelt-tip
peh, mark on the plan the nose-bloc position as well aa that of .the
various fuselage formers. you can ofcourse use as referencesthe marks
which you will find on the drawing itselt.
