Estes Quinstar #7241 Build, Part 4, Don't Make A Mistake! TIP

Be ready, the balsa is thin!
If it breaks, just glue back together with some CA.







Here's all the punched out girder pieces.
There are a lot of them. They are probably too small to be re-used.



Two different forum posts mention errors made when gluing together the wide center "cage" pieces. It's a complex interlocking structure and easy to get wrong.

As the instruction NOTE says:
"Numbers must face inwards toward the center of the model."
This is important. Dry fit and double check before using any glue.



Here's the numbers they are talking about.
The numbers 1 - 5 are only burned on one side of the balsa sheet.
The numbers should be at the top and all face inward when the girder "cage" is assembled.
