Fliskits Pheord X150 Build Part 6 Shroud Gluing


In Step 12 you are told to run a line of glue down the leading edges of all five fins. It would be hard to line up a flexible shroud and five glued fins at one time.
I set a small line of glue down the inside of a fold and glued down one fin at a time. After one glued edge was dry, advance around to the next root edge.



The flexible curved flairs are glued next.
A small bit of glue was set in place below the printed area on the engine mount tube.







After the glue started to get tacky,  the flair end was rolled into the glue.
Roll a dowel over the flair end trying to get the curve as smooth as you can.
