Joining the side frames. The tail is supported while the front bulkheads and crossmembers go together.
As the work goes further back the tail is lowered so the fuselage rests on the table where you are working.

The pylon assembled and installed.
I doped on the fiberglass cloth on the sides of the pylon and
under the platform for better rigidity. The half bulkheads give
easy
positive alignment. The
platform
parts for both wing styles are included in the laser cut parts.
The differences are very subtle so match them up with the drawings
to identify and orient
the
parts, I put saran wrap on the bottom of the wing and glued the
platform together. Then I set the wing with the platform rubber
banded
to it on top of the pylon, which was already installed on the fuselage.
With the fuselage held level I squared the wing with the fuselage
centerline and leveled the
wing by checking
tip dimensions. When all looked good I tacked the platform to the
pylon, diassembled everything and final glued the pylon with it upside
down.
Landing gear and radio installed, Kevlar
lines installed and left extra long. Space is very tight in
the Playboy
pylon models no matter the size, but in this one it really is
at a premium. Spektrum A2010 servos
were used
and the new AR6335 receiver.
One servo was mounted
upright and the other inverted on the same ply plate.
