Estes Starliner #0863 Build, Part 10, Final Assembly & Nose Weight

Use the drawing in the instructions to set the angle on the elevator root edge.

At the top of the picture is the flat side of my sanding block. Set the fin at the angle on the drawing for an angle reference against the sanding block.

Sand a mirror image angle into the right side elevator.

Right: The view from the side.



The entire model is sprayed gloss white, lightly sanding between coats.

Hooray - No masking on this one!



The nose cone gets some clay weight.

The kit included one pat of clay, those typically weighed in at .25 oz.
