Cyclone Build Part 12 Fin Gluing





While the instructions don't say to do so, I rounded the leading and trailing edges of the fins before gluing them onto the lower body tube.







The two lower stabilizer fins are spaced at 18mm apart.

I drew 18mm tick marks on a paper wrap and marked the center at 9mm.
The 9mm mark was centered over the engine hook.

Extend the fin lines down the smaller tube.


TIP: Getting the longer stabilizer fins to glue in place is tough! Be ready for a little frustration. They are long and heavier than the wet glue will hold.
You will probably have the best luck using the "double glue" method.
