Now lets glue on the stringers to the fuse sides you just made.

First you want to identify the left and right fuse sides, note that the right fuse side is shorter in length due to the right thrust. Mark each fuse side on the inside with a "R or L" just so you don't glue the stringers on the outside, you want to glue the stringers in place on the "INSIDE" of the fuse sides. Position the stringers so the spliced section is between f6 and f7. What I also do is tab in the formers into the fuse sides to act as a positioning guide for the stringers. The upper stringer extends all the way from the tail post to the firewall, the lower stringer gets cut at f2 and angles up to the firewall, again use the firewall as a positing guide for that lower section of stringer.


I tack glue the stringers in place around the formers, than remover the formers and wick thin ca to complete the gluing step.
