Glue the right side Frame Member in place with the three joints being tight. The ends of the Frame
Member can be filed half round with a small round file to match the Stringers.
Assemble the Main Gas Tank and paint it Brass if not already done, or touch up when assembled. The
two (2) halves of the Main gas Tank index to each other, medium CA can be added to the mating
surfaces and the Medium CA allows a few seconds for part alignment before setting. Once the Main
Gas Tank is ready to install insert it into the bay from the left side and index the front support into the
notches in the Frames (left and right) and glue in place holding horizontal with the top aligned with the
top of the Stringers until the glue sets.
Add the Cables with Turnbuckles from the Main Gas tank to the four (4) frame loops in the upper and
lower corners of the bay as seen in the picture above. Now glue in place the two (2) cast metal Upper
Tank Straps and Lower Tank Straps between the outer edges and the ring in the Tank. Now add the
left side Frame Member in place just like the right side. Finally, rig the cables with Turnbuckles to all
sides of the bay of the Fuselage. See the picture above. NOTE: Other Main Tank details can be added
later once the Landing Gear is in place.
