Now its time for one of most important steps durring building of your Arrow V5. Place tail section to
main wing as shown. Use some heavy objects to lock parts on flat table. Measure very carefully
distance from each wingtip to stabilizer, it must be exactly the same. Also be sure tap line where
bottom of fuselage will be connected is in one line.
Area behind wing where it is connected to fuselage is weak point of every shockflyer. I recommend
to reinforce it with fiberglass cloth. Cut small piece as shown in picture and put few drops of foam
friendly CA glue. Make sure it spread even, so all material is wet, but be sure not to clean all axtra
CA with paper towel, remember we don't want extra weight. And to much of CA glue is one area
where you can collect weight very quickly. For example for building your plane take fresh bottle of
CA glue, and check what is the weight of it. When you finish building your plane put bottle of CA to
scale you will see how much weight you add to your plane in form of a glue.
In this stage of building last part you must attach is front of the plane. Glue it as it is shown in
picture on the left. Make sure tap line (line where bottom fuselage will be connected) is straigt and
it match line on tail section and wings.
In picture on the right side you can see one more aditional reinforcement for top part of fuselage.
Ussing sharp knife carefully cut as shown in picture. Best way is to stick to outline of cockpit, so
carbon reinforcement will not stand out.
