Title: How to build the 2 part fuselage for the RSM Electric P 40
Post by: Mike Griffin on January 20, 2014, 04:01:09 PM
In a previous thread I showed how you assemble the core and sheeting to build the P 40 fuselage.  However, since this profile uses a continueous ribbon hinge, the wing must be built completely with the flaps attached before you insert it into the fuselage.  There are two ways you can do this.  You can cut out the bottom wing saddle of the fuselage, insert the wing and reglue the saddle... OR .. You can do what I did and what I have illustrated below with the pictures.  This is to build the fuselage in two pieces, the top half and the bottom half.  Then you can glue the halves around the wing, apply the plywood doublers sand and finish.  Here is how you do it.

These are the components before you glue them together
