General Building Notes: Before you begin building it is important to look at the plan carefully, reading and understanding the instructions before starting assembly. A good flat building board will enable you to build quickly and squarely. As needed remove each piece from its balsawood sheet with the help of a sharp pointed hobby knife.

Fuselage Assembly: Stage 1: Press out die cut square in F1 and die cut circle in F1 & F2. Use a hobby knife to cut out the slots die cut into F1, F2 & F3.

To epoxy assembly F1, F2 & F3 together, Lay F1 flat down with the long slot on the right hand side. Place F2 on top of F1 and F3 on top of F2. Make sure the slots in F1, F2 & F3 line up.

Epoxy assembly F4 & F5 together. (Make sure the pin marks in F4 & F5 line up.) Temporarily glue the drilling template to the front of F1/F2/F3 assembly and drill as shown. Drill two 6 mm holes in assembly F4/F5 where pin marked.

Cut out the nyrod slots in each fuselage side 7. Lay one fuselage side flat down, working forward from the line shown on the plan side view, glue the 1.5 mm doublers in position. Clamp or weight until dry. Then trim doublers to finish flush and square to fuselage sides.

Cut and glue the 3 x 6 mm balsa strips to the fuselage side from a point behind F6 to the rear of the fuselage. Repeat for the opposite fuselage side, making sure you have a complete left and right fuselage side, with both doublers on the insides.

Place the two fuselage sides on edge and upside down over the fuselage top plan view and epoxy ply formers F1/F2/F3 and F4/F5 and balsa parts 8 and 9 into place. Use masking tape to hold assembly until dry..."
