Mini Mosquito Build Part 2, Gluing It All Together
The nose cone shoulder seemed long so I checked it with a "T" engine in place.
The engine extended out the back by about 1/4" so the shoulder length is probably right. The front end of the engine butts right up against the open nose cone shoulder.
The vague multi-lingual instructions say "Glue all parts together".
OKAY!!!
No mention is made of plastic cement. I wouldn't use white glue on a plastic nose cone. It would probably pop off at ejection.
The instructions don't mention any fin shaping.
I rounded the leading and trailing edges.
The first Mini Brute Mosquito instructions said to air foil the fins.
That's what you want in a model this small - better performance!
The fin grain was filled before gluing them on the body.
Following the directions -
I glued it all the parts together.
