Estes Strikefighter, Kit #2015, Build, Part 6, Balsa Wings



Old School - Tracing a paper template and cutting balsa fins one at a time.

There will be some differences between like fins.
Stack, hold tightly and sand the sides even using a block.


The sharp front tips of the stabilizers should be lined up and cut off square.






I don't know why,
the instructions have you glue the larger wing piece to the body tube first, then glue on the extension.




That could make for alignment problems and filling the joint.

I glued up both pieces with the root edges against a straight edge.
