- Page 6 Glue fuselage nose into place. We recommend only gluing the bottom as shown first and letting it fully cure. This will help keep gaps from forming.
- Page 7 Use pins to help hold the nose in place. Glue one piece of the short CF where the canopy will attach.
- Page 8 Use the second short CF piece for the rear of the hatch point. Glue the rear fuselage at all mating surfaces.
