| First I made this frame from 2x4's so I
could get the fuselage to a good working height. |
Then I got ready by laying out all the
top and bottom cross and diagonal pieces. |
 |
 |
| In this photo the top and bottom
longerons are installed. |
The manual states that clear silicone
should be installed on the fuselage stubs to protect against
corrosion. I smeared silicone on the stubs and pressed on the
longeron. Be sure to clean up the drilled holes on the inside of the
tubes first! |
 |
 |
| Wipe off the excess silicone. And put
some masking tape on the fuselage first as this will make it easier
to clean up. |
...and this is what it looks like when
the excess is wiped away and the tape is pulled off. |
 |
 |
| Here the cross and diagonal tubes are
clecoed in place. |
Now I rivet all the brackets in place. |
