Estes Super Mars Snooper #7309, Build Part 12, Lug Positioning & Fin Jig

The highest shroud is slid down and seated in the glue from the last post.

Double check the alignment by sliding the launch lug through the holes. Don't glue the lug in yet. Let the shroud dry.

The launch lug is longer than what you will need. 

It will be glued in place and the ends trimmed.

This isn't the kit launch lug, I was using a longer 3/16" diameter lug from my spare parts.

The outside fins have a line burnt into the root edge for positioning on the pod tube/nose cone joint.

I have already filled the fins and the cut line was also filled in. I drew a dot at the root edge line position using a fine point Sharpie.

Now you can get out that fin assembly jig.
