Tony's Build Instructions

Hints

If you are receiving a QB fuse, you will not be able to drop the fuselage onto this cradle if Vans put the bottom wing spar bolts in with the threads pointing forward. You need to put them in the other way beforehand. Make sure there you add the plastic washers and plastic bolt sleeve back to protect the spar.

Modifications

One important modification of the cradle build instructions is to make the rear bar removable to allow riveting the tailcone to the fuselage. Use a SIMPSON STRONG-TIE 1-13/16" x 5" 22 Gauge Nail Plate on both sides to hold the rear carpet covered bar.

A 20 inch inner tube can be used to lift the fuselage At Amazon.
