FlisKits Triple Threat Build Part 4 Fin Plates

I glued the left side of the fin plates on the balsa with a coat of white glue.

After the fins plates had dried the border excess is cut off to the printed lines. This picture shows the fin flipped over ready for gluing the right side plate on.

The right side of the fin plates are cut to shape and glued on the cut balsa side with white glue. The plate edges are lined up with the already cut left side plate and balsa.


After the glued right side plate was in position, a dowel was rolled over the plate to remove any excess glue.

Be careful and check the fin plate alignment. The plate can slide out of alignment when rolling over with the dowel.
