Quest Aurora Build, Part 8, Glider Cradle and Rudder Gluing


The inside edges of the wing were sanded for a better match for the dihedral angle.

Like the instructions showed, the glider body was used to help set the angle. The tip was raised 1 3/8" from the table surface.



One of the 2" lugs was glued on where the fin was removed earlier.
Plastic cement wouldn't hold it on so I used some medium CA.


One cradle plate piece is glued on each side of the launch lug.

At the open top the spread space is 7/16"



The tube is glued down the center joint of the glider wings.

The inset shows a small rudder in position.



The bottom of the wing joint is sanded flat for gluing the root edge of the large rudder.
