Quest X-30 Aerospace Plane Part 14, Fins Cover and Nose Fit


This is the rudder fin before the second side of the covering was trimmed off. The wings and fins edges were sprayed white.
The small interior tube is lightly glued into the nose cone bulkhead.
Before the glue sets up, check the fit against the body bulkhead.

After you are sure of the fit, add a small fillet at the tube bulkhead joint.
Keep the fillet small so it won't interfere with the fit against the main body.




The nose and canopy were sprayed gloss white.

Both were taped to a cardboard flat for painting.




One ounce of clay weight is supplied.

As directed in the instructions I pressed as much as I could into the nose cone tube. About .40 oz. of clay was left over.
