Estes Starliner #0863 Build, Part 6, Wing Fitting


The sides of the intakes are glued onto the vertical stabilizers. I used my angle to be sure they were 90 degrees to the stab.






In Step 11 of the instructions show the wing dihedral. With one half of the wing on the table, the wing tip is raised to 1" high. 





For a good fit of the wing sides, you'll need to sand an angle 
into the root edges.








To better see what I was sanding, the root edge was marked with a soft pencil. Keeping an eye on the pencil marks as you taper the edge with a sanding block.






I used a pencil under the wing, raising the tip up to a height of 1".







After the glued dried, the joint was filled with some CWF.
