Estes Lynx, Kit #7233, Build Part 10, Details and Wing Fit



The lower flat wing is centered and glued even with the back end of the BT-20 maim air frame tube.
The engine mount is just dry fitted, not glued in yet.

The dowel is cut into three 1" sections. The left over dowel was thrown in the spare parts box.

Two pieces of dowel are glued into the wing slots. I glued them in now, it's easier to fill the gaps with the wing pieces off the model.

The dowel diameter is wider than the 1/16" thick wing stock.
It's harder to fill the slot sides or lay on a decal with the dowel raised over the top.
You could leave them round, I decided to sand them flat with wing.






The root edges of the wing glue to the side of the long rudder strake.
The outside ends of the upper and lower wings should match up

Sand the wing root edge at an angle for the best fit.
