nose side pie es have the labeling both up to make sure that the
nose top and bottom are glued on the right edgesGlue together
to form a open box as shown using CA+.
8.2 Pun h out the two nose filler blo ks, N-F, from the ¼”
balsa sheet. Note: the filler blo ks must be glued foreword to a

trailing edge. Glue on ea h inside lower orner with CA+.
8.3 Cut two 3/4” triangle sto k approximately 2.5” in length.
Glue in pla e so that they will overhang both the lower inside
orners of the nose so that when the front and ba k fa e are
sanded flat they will be flush as well.
8.4 Sand the front and the ba k of the nose se tion flat. For
best results lay a pie e of sandpaper on a flat surfa e and sand
the entire surfa e at the same time. Sand until all the darker
laser ut edges of the side pie es are sanded away.
8.5 Cut two ½” balsa triangle sto k approximately 2.5” in hes
in length. Glue in the upper inside edge of the nose assembly so

fa es.
