Join the two halves of fuselage
If you have other wiring or modifications to add for the build run those through the
fuselage and tail-boom before closing the fuselage
*Note: Double check to ensure all parts are prepared and no parts are missing.
MAKE SURE to plan where you need glue before you begin!
Glue the left-half of fuselage, and other reinforcements parts that also need gluing
where the fuse halves meet. Make sure ample glue is across all points to be connected.
*Note: All gluing needs to be done at one time so make sure to move quickly
once starting as glue will dry fast. Gluing should be completed in about 9 minutes.
Add a moderate amount of glue to the contact surface.
Too much glue can cause erosion in the foam.

add a little glue install it to the bottom of the tail boom
Join both halves of fuselage immediately after gluing, press firmly and use clamps
or other tools like painters tape to secure it until glue has dried.
Generally with air-drying indoors the glue will set after a 24 hour period.
