Pin plan to workboard and cover with transparent wax paper to prevent frames from sticking to plan during construction. Use modelers' knife to cut balsa strips.

Cut and cement balsa pieces F-, F-2 and F-3 to fuselage side frame. When dry, build a second side frame directly over the first. Spread a coat of cement over rear face of tailposts. When dry, lift frames frow plan and split apart except at tail posts .

Add cross members and internal cross struts. Add the top stringers. Then bottom stringers and finally the side stringers. Carve nose block to shape and cement to nose of the fuselage,
