Fuselage

Glue the nose (16) to the main fuselage (14). Glue the upper fuselage stick (17) and the lower fuselage stick (15) in place. Cyano the fin (22) into the notch in the carbon tail boom (18). Be sure it was centred nicely in the tube (see Det. C-C). Put the horizontal tailplane (23) on your workbench, apply 2–3 small drops of cyano between the centre lines drawn on the upper surface of the tailplane and then attach the tail boom with the fin, so the fin is square to the horizontal tailplane, the tail boom was exactly between the centre lines and the trailing edge of the horizontal tailplane was 8 mm be hind the tail boom end. Once satisfied with the alignment of the tail boom, f in and horizontal tailplane, apply medium CA along the entire joint of the tail boom and horizontal tailplane on both sides. Put the front part of the fuselage over the edge of your workbench (covered with a clear plastic film) so the nose (16) is overlapping freely over the edge. Set the fuselage square to the workbench and pin it in place. Roughen the contact area of the tail boom with sand paper; tack glue (2–3 small drops of medium CA) the tail boom to the front part of the fuselage. Check the correct alignment - be sure the entire fuselage is straight and the horizontal tailplane is flat on the workbench. Once satisfied, remove the fuselage from your workbench and apply medium CA along the entire tail boom/fuselage joint. Glue the ballast (20) into the nose. Matching the outline of the fuselage, glue the side covers (19+21) in place.
