Estes Black Star Voyager Build, Part 32, Launch Lugs

I didn't (really) forget the launch lugs.

I was concerned about being able to sand and smooth the fillet ridges where the lower fin half center tips are close. The lower lug would be in the way of the sanding.

I marked the lug positions with pencil and scraped away the black paint down to the body tube surface. The scraped area is slightly shorter than the length of the launch lugs. The width is wide enough to get a good glue bond.

This is the upper lug, set 10 1/2"from the edge of the engine mount tube.

I didn't fillet the launch lugs, that would lead to bubbles and more filling. I used enough glue, the lugs aren't going anywhere.
