Step 9

Use Epoxy to install the fi rewall onto the 

fuselage.  Use  masking  tape  to  assure 

good  contact  between  all  parts.  Note 

that 1-1/2° of right thrust is built into the 

fi rewall.

Step 10

Test  fi t  the  fuselage  top  and  then  use 

an  adhesive  that  will  give  you  time  to 

pull  the  top  and  sides  snugly  together 

and hold it there with masking tape until 

cured, such as aliphatic resin. Now glue 

F-4 permanently into position.

Step 11

Glue  on  the  1/8”  Balsa  wing  saddle 

doublers and then snap the wing mount 

plates  temporarily  into  position.  Draw 

a line along the fuselage side onto the 

wing mount plates.

Step 12

Trim the fl anges of two #1/4-20 blind nuts 

to the line as shown and install them into 

the wing mount plates. Be sure to make 

one left and one right. Then Epoxy these 

plates  into  the  fuselage  sides  with  the 

blind  nut  fl anges  facing  the  top  of  the 

fuselage.
