Estes Lynx, Kit #7233, Build Part 12, Lug Gluing

Here's the front and rear lug.
The front lug needs the standoff with the rear lug already raised on the wing.

TIP: Use very little glue when first gluing down two small, inline lugs. After drying, that little bit of glue allows you to re-position the lugs if needed.

Check the lug alignment by carefully sliding a launch rod between them.








Fillet the lug joint with Titebond M&TG.
Roll off and taper around the fillet end with a Q-tip. You can "sharpen" the Q-tip by rolling it between your thumb and index finger.
