Estes Monarch Build, #7214, Part 9, Gluing On The Fins


Here's the build with the rear and forward fins in place. 
On this downscale, the smaller fins are 4 5/16" from the rear of the tube.

The rear lug is glued 1/4" from the end of the body tube.

The forward launch lug is glued 7 5/8" from the rear.

TIP: You can fill bubbles that form in dried lug fillets. It takes three applications of wood glue.
Apply and smooth the first fillet, let dry.
Apply second fillet, smooth and let dry.
Apply a third fillet, smooth and let dry.
Those bubbles should be gone -
