Carded MMX Estes Sky Writer Post 10


Apply a bead of white glue to the outside and trailing edges of all four fins.
This seals the edges and prevents any lifting of the plys.
Let dry and sand with 400 grit sandpaper.

Repeat with another white glue bead and let dry.
You may have noticed I didn't draw any fin positioning lines on the lowest white fin band. There is a good reason behind this.
With the tube diameter being so small, any variance in the tube diameter would really throw off any pre-drawn alignment lines. So, the fin alignment is up to you.
Glue four fins, 90 degrees equidistant around the white band (fin can) at the end of the tube.
The trailing edges will be even with the end of the tube.
Where the leading edge joins the body tube, it will be just a little below the top of the white band.
