Estes Sandpiper, Kit #1389, Part 7, Gluing The Lug Shroud





The launch lug shroud is glued on, centered between the two wing fins.
The bottom end is even with the motor mount tube.








The fins are glued on, centered and perpendicular to the wings.







The glue on the shroud bottom shrank a bit and turned the sides out.
It'll take some patient pressure to get the sides adhered to the launch lug.

  1. The Lug shroud looks to be a bit of work. I think I would have made a balsa lug brace,
