Apogee Mini Condor Boost Glider Build, Part 2, Fuselage Front Hook

This is a dry fit showing how the hook pieces are glued to the side of the fuselage boom front. The plastic pylon piece was slipped onto the fuselage to check the position before gluing.

With the hook plates even with the front of the fuselage, the pylon piece overhangs the front by less than 1/16".

The hook pieces were glued onto the sides of the fuselage using the pylon piece to help with alignment. Two clothes pins were used as a clamp as the glue dried. Son't let any glue get into the pylon joint.

On the right the pylon was slid back after the hook pieces were in the right place.



After the glue dried it only took some light sanding to even up all three layers. Don't sand too much off - just even it up.
