General Note: Cover the plans with wax paper before assembling your model to prevent the parts from sticking to the plan.
 

Building the Tail Surfaces

 
1.

 
Join R-I and R-2 together over the plan. Temporarily hinge the rudder (R-3) to the fin. Do not glue the hinges at this time.

 
2.

 
Join the elevators using the 1/8" dowel. Use the plan and the stabilizer as a guide. Trim the dowel as required to achieve the 
proper length.

 
3.

 
Temporarily hinge the elevators to the stabilizer. Do not glue the hinges at this time.

 
4.

 
Sand the tail surfaces smooth and round all of the edges except the bottom edge of the fin.

 

Building the Fuselage

 
5.

 
Assemble the left fuselage side (F-1). Glue parts F-1A (L), F-1B (L) and F-1C (L) together as shown on the plan. The letter 
"L" is on the inside of the left fuselage side parts and should face up on all the parts. When the glue is dry, glue part F-2 (L) 
into position on the inside of the left fuselage side. Crack part F-3 (L) at the dashed line cut into it at the rear of the part and 
glue it into position on the inside of the left fuselage side.

 
6.

 
Build the right fuselage side as you did the left. The parts for the right fuselage side are marked with an "R" on the inside of 
each piece.
