Estes Mini Bomarc Clone, Kit #TK-5, Part 11, Gluing On The Raceway

The upper picture is s a dry fit of the raceway checking the fit over the wing and stabilizer.

The inset picture shows the line of glue just down the centerline on the underside of the raceway. The side edges won't be making contact with the round tube. I also didn't want squeeze out of glue. Any gaps will be filled with a glue fillet.

I didn't initially cut the curve to fit over the low end of the raceway. 
Set the rudder over the back and trace over the raceway curve end with a pencil.
On the right is the rough cut.


After more forming with sandpaper rolled over a dowel, I got a good fit.
 









Follow up with some glue fillets to fill any gaps.

  1. Great idea with the raceway. Wish I did that instead of cutting the center of the race way.
