Apogee Shrockets Skonk Wulf Build, Part 6, Assembly

The body tube and nose cone got a shot of primer/filler and sanding.
The nose cone seams were almost non-existent. Only a bit of primer was left after sanding.

The instructions tell you to apply a ring of glue 3" inside the main air frame tube. You also should add some glue to the inside of the rear centering ring. The rear ring is flush with the end of the tube.
I used my sanding block to be sure the ring was even, flush with the body tube end.
The wing fins are glued on, the interior fin tangs are glued onto the engine mount tube.

To apply some pressure and better seat the root edges, I used some rubber bands around both outside edges of the wings.
Sight across the back to be sure both are in line with each other.


The forward winglets go in the opposite way you would think.

Again I used rubber bands to apply a moderate pressure while the glue dried.
