Estes Tazz #7282 Build, Part 10, Plastic Retainers


The guide ring is glued onto the rear of the tube, even with the end.
The notches on the ring are on the opposite side of the launch lug.
Be sure the notches are centered between the wing fins.



This shows how the ring tab extensions hold down the flaps.
Notice the engine hook, tabs and notches on the ring are on the other side of the launch lug.


The rubber band locks and hooks fit into the round holes in the wings and flaps.

These can rotate while you are setting the locks on the other side.
You can carefully straighten them with tweezers. Go light - you can scar the balsa.







After the locks and hooks are straight, you can set them with a drop of liquid cement.
