.
Covering the Model
44. Sand all of the parts smooth. Test fit the wings to the fuselage. Test fit the tail surfaces with the fuselage. Make any
adjustments necessary to achieve the proper fit. Cut the windshield using the pattern on the plan and check the fit With the
fuselage.
45.
Cover the model, applying the tissue With clear dope. When the parts are covered, shrink the tissue by lightly misting it with
water or rubbing alcohol.
46.
Apply two coats of clear dope thinned 50
-
50 to the entire model.
47.
Apply the decals using the 3
-
view as a guide for placement.
Final Assembly
48. Make one dummy engine cylinder by stacking parts #56 -
#62 on a 1" length of 3/32" sq. balsa stick. Trim the 3/32" sq. flush
With #62. Glue #63 into position.
49.
Repeat to assemble the other three cylinders.
50.
Paint the cylinders With black dope.
51. Glue the cylinders to the nose of the fuselage. Cut the paper cooling shrouds from the plan. Bend them and glue them to
the nose of the model. Now paint the cooling shrouds with black dope.
52. The landing gear farings #64 should be covered with tissue and doped. Sand the upper edge to fit the fuselage and glue
#46 into position on each side. Wrap tissue around the front of #64 to cover the landing gear wire and dope in place.
53. Paint the wheels black. Slide the wheels onto the axles. Mark and trim the axles to length. Secure the wheels to the axle
with a small piece of plastic tube glued to the axle.
54.
Cover the hub caps #55 with tissue. Apply the CUB decal and carefully glue them to the wheels.
55.
Additional scale details can be added to the landing gear if desired. These are shown on the plan. These details should be
made removable to prevent damage during flight.
56.
Glue the tail wheel assembly to the model.
57.
Glue the windshield to the model. Cut the side windows from plastic and test fit then glue into position.
58.
Draw the scale door outline on the fuselage. Draw the ailerons onto the wings. A technical pen works best for this.
59.
Mark the hinge points on the tail surfaces.
60. Slide the stabilizer into the slot in the fuselage and center it. Carefully check the stabilizer for alignment and glue into
position.
61. Cut several short lengths of the copper wire and glue them in place hinging the elevators to the stabilizer.
62. Fit and glue the fin to the fuselage. Make sure that the fin is perpendicular to the stabilizer. Now hinge the rudder to the fin
and fuselage.
63.
Glue thread into position to simulate the tail bracing wires.
64.
Glue the wings to the fuselage using the dihedral gauge #88 to establish the correct angle.
65.
Assemble the wing struts over the plan. Sand the edges of the struts round and cover them with tissue and dope.
66.
Carefully trim the ends of the struts to length so that the struts fit in the proper positions. Now glue the struts into position.
67.
Make the jury struts from 1/16" sq, balsa strips that have been covered with tissue.
