-
Clean areas to
be glued on struts and spars with Scotch Brite or fine
sandpaper.
-
Drill a 1/16" dia hole in the
center of each 1/64"x1/4"x3/8" plywood fuselage support.
-
Align a strut to the LE wing
spar and slide toward fuselage until it touches the fuselage
near the bottom. Note that the struts are offset at the
fuselage by the width of the ply fuse support.
-
When satisfied with
alignment, use strut to "drill" a hole through fuselage at
proper angle.
-
Slide a 1/64" ply support
onto the strut. Push strut thru fuselage until it protrudes
1/16" on other side.
-
Align other end of strut
along LE spar so it's flush with top of wing. Glue to
LE spar with foam-safe CA and hold in place while CA cures.
-
Place drop of foam-safe CA
where strut enters fuselage and slide ply support against
fuselage to glue it in place.
-
Glue ply support onto other
side of fuselage over the protruding strut.
-
Repeat for other 3 struts.
Make sure that wing is not twisted when you glue struts to
fuselage.
-
Glue .060"x3" CF rod fuselage
supports to under side of wing & fuselage as shown.
Center on wing TE.
