The launch lugs are glued onto the body tube.
Note they are not centered between two fins but are glued to the right side of a fin slot.
The fin slots and tube ends were masked off before shooting it with filler/primer.
The fin slot must line up with the slotted middle centering ring
As shown in the "INSTALL ENGINE MOUNT" instruction step -
Slide in the engine mount. Use the fin to position the mount in the main air frame tube.
Slide in a fin, the horizontal slot in the fin tab must interlock with the slot in the middle centering ring.
Position the engine mount using two fins, one each on opposite sides.
With the engine mount in the correct position, apply a glue fillet to the lowest centering ring inside the bottom. Don't glue the fins on yet!
Well, perhaps you don't find it strange.
ReplyDeleteHi Bradycros,
