Semroc MMX Orbital Transport, KMX-01, Build Part 8, Orbiter Glider Construction


The dihedral of the glider wing is done by setting the joint over the glider body tube. When the outside tips of the wing sides touch your work bench, the angle is correct.

I also filled the joint at the wing center.





The instructions suggest glue fillets along the top joint of the wings.
I wouldn't recommend this - it isn't needed. Getting a bubble free fillet is difficult and adds a lot of weight.






One side of the template jig is used to set the elevon angle.







The notched hook is glued even with the front of the wing.
GOTCHA: Notice anything wrong here? More in the next post.
