Fuse Construction

Step 7a: Install FW F-1 and former F-3

Position and epoxy F-1 and F-3 onto 1 fuse side.

Building Note: I used 30 minute epoxy for both. There is slop in the doubler F-1 slots. Make sure that when gluing F-1 force it to either the front OR the rear on both sides. I used flat toothpicks on the backside to ensure that there was little or no gap on the front where the gap will be exposed to fuel and exhaust spooge. I cleaned all of the joints with alcohol-dampened cotton swabs. I checked their alignment several times. I’ll recheck the alignment in 15 minutes to make sure nothing changes.
