Estes Xarconian Cruiser Build Part 14 Fin Gluing


Look at the bottom of the wing root edge.

Some of the primer was taken down with 220 grit on a block for better glue adhesion. Take off about the with of the fillets to follow.

Use the "Double Glue" method to attach the wings.
The wings and rudder are heavy and large. You'll want the glue to grab.

You can use your aluminum angle to double check the straightness of the long root edges.
Here's a dry fit of the intake tubes after the root edge glue dried.
It's a very good fit and covers up more than half of the models main air frame tube!

BUILD TIME
Sand root edges: 15 minutes
Double Glue Fins: 20 minutes
Total Build Time so far: 7 hours, 10 minutes
