When installing F2, use a thin bead of epoxy. At the same time F2 is being glued, install the 1/4" gear block as well. It bonds better if it all goes in at once.

Let this cure thoroughly before continuing.


Before you install the firewall, or even pull the front sides together, you must install the flooring. On the Glow version, it's just pieces of 1/8" 4-6 lb balsa cut to shape and installed cross grain. just use a good bead of thick CA, sand to fit. Install the floor all the way back to F6.

If you're building an electric version, the floor between the gear block and F-3 is a piece of 1/4" carbon nomex with lightening holes. See the attached pics for the lightening holes for the electric version.

After the flooring is in, pull the front end together and glue in the firewwall using slow cure epoxy. This is an odd bend, and you may notice the fuse sides tend to want to bow out slightly behind F2 and F3. Don't freak out, this is normal and doesn't matter. You'll see why later.

Note: the picture on the right with all the holes in the bottom is the electric version. Don't do this on a glow plane.
