A line of glue was set at the center of the canard. It was slid in place.
I looked straight on the front of the glider, the canard was canted at a slight angle.
TIP: Before the glue could set up, I slid a wedge of balsa into the joint to raise one side and straighten it out. The wedge was easily removed after the glue dried.
The finished glider ready for a coat of gloss light gray paint.
Moving back to the boost pod -
The shoulder insert on the BT-5 sized nose cone had a raised ridge making it a rough slide into the body tube.
The ridge was sanded down with 220 grit on a block.
