Quest Raptor Build Part 18, Assembly

This shows the tube masks used for a better glue bond.

The tape strips are used for alignment, an extension outside of the tube masks. Keep the masking alignment strips towards the outside and away from the gluing area.

Here's how the underside tank was glued and aligned.
Main picture is the front, the inset is from the back.

Simply line up the two strips of tape and the tank should be directly over the glue line. Still, sight from the front and back to double check straightness.

Even without decals, this is a great design. It should turn heads at a club launch.

The fins are large but being swept forward they should recover without damage.
