Estes Paveway III Build, Part 8 Fin Gluing



The reinforcement pieces don't match the body tube contour well.

When set beside the large fin there is a gap all along the bottom.





I had to sand a slight bevel into the root edges for a better fit.






Here you can see the better fit of the root edges after sanding in the bevel.






When the side pieces were glued to the fin sides, the tops want to spread out.
I held them in line and touched some thin CA glue at the top.
The glue ran down the root edge and held them in line until fillets can be applied.
