Starting the
joining of the fuselage sides. See how the fuselage is up side
down and the forward section is flat on the building board. The top
longeron sticks forward and is
pinned in place to keep alignment. There is a clothespin clamp
holding the tail end together at this point., with pins holding it over the
centerline, and the two triangles in front also keep the sides
accurately located over the plan. All the forward crossmembers and the firewall are added at this point.
After that the fuselage will be turned over on the plan so it
rests on the flat lower longerons and all
the remamining crossmembers are
installed, using the triangles as necessary to keep alignment over the
centerline. Don't forget the tail skid mount bulkhead.
Installing
the
landing gear. As you can see I did it before adding the rear
crossmembers but it is easier if you do it after all the crossmembers
are installed.
How to shape F4
F4 installed. I
used a bamboo dowel here but I often use carbon fiber tube.
