Do the same for the rear half  

frame (blue marks). 

      

• Slide the front half 

frame into the skin.

• Do the same for the rear frame.

• The frame has to be carefully  

centered in the skin : the eyelet at the 

top has to be aligned with the frame top 

screw head. It’s not necessary to force 

the screwhead into the eyelet : once in 

tension (next step), the screw head will 

be below the eyelet.

• Be careful that the stabilairs hoses and the rudder lines are not struck 

between frame parts and the skin.
