Model Minutes Leduc 22 Build, Part 15, Rear Fins and Body Slots





If you glue the fin tabs directly onto the printed lines on the interior tube, they don't rest against the rear centering ring. I assumed this is what the designer meant to do.







Here's what the main body assembly looks like up to this point. Three rear fins are glued on and two centering rings are also glued onto the interior body tube. Both the centering rings are centered inside printed lines on the interior tube.




The two main wing sides are joined in the center. The wing slides all the way through slots in the interior and outside rolled tubes.

The slot is cut in the interior tube. The tube is floppy but the slots can be cut with a new blade. Cut the top and bottom slit first, then the long vertical l






There is no good way to fold the slot sides inside the body. I used my long tweezers pressing the tabs and getting as sharp a fold line as I could.
