Quest Stiletto Build Part 9, Intake Tube Gluing


Draw lines down the tube at the spine mark. Draw a line down the middle of the intake tube.

Three lines of white glue were applied down the tube between the 4" and 13" marks. The two outside glue lines will make a interior fillet on both sides of the center line.






Line up both lines and press the two tubes together.

After that dried a fillet was applied on the ends at the front and rear joints.






The revision sheet also mentions the rudder fin might be off "slightly".
You can see the gap underneath when the fin gets a dry fit.
When the root edge is sanded down, 1/8" of the rudder fin height is reduced.
Was this just enough to cause some stability problems?
