Estes Orange Bullet #7295, Part 3, Fin Fairings

The fairings are glued on the body tube.
I used my aluminum angle to be sure they are on straight.

The side view shows a gap along the sides from the curvature of the tube.
Normally I would sand a curvature under a fairing like this, but the balsa is thin at 1/16". This will need some glue fillets in the gap.

I make a pencil mark on the rear contact point of the root edge. It gives me a visual point to line up against the bottom of the fairing.

Here's the fins and fairings in place, awaiting delivery of the nose cone.
Notice the fairings above the body tube top. These will glue to the slid in nose cone.
