Earlier -
The lower lock ring (on the engine mount) had to be moved forward 1/2" to be in the correct position for the rings to sit just outside the end s of the fin slots. This also set the engine mount to be flush with the main airframe tube.
Try as I might, the low end of the TTW tab would not click into place.
To fit into the new position of the lower lock ring, the inside notch had to be cut 1/2" up from the bottom. On the left, the notch to be cut is marked with pencil.
On the right, the notch was cut with a razor saw.
A CA glue bead is applied to all contact points along the root edge.
These fins take a little bit of effort to snap them into place.
Experience has taught me -
Snap in the front first, then snap the rear tab into the rear ring.
TIP: Place your thumb into the engine mount tube for support while pushing down on the fin until it clicks.
