Estes Quinstar #7241 Build, Part 6, Fillets and Bulkhead

Flip over the cage so it can be pressed down and even on the tabletop.

Before adding glue, the BT-50 was slid into the center cavity so the pentagon shape would be even. One of the centering rings was slid into the compressed BT-50 to keep it round.

A line of glue was applied and smoothed with Q-tips. Some areas are hard to reach with your fingertip.

There are three pentagon pieces. The two smaller "H" pieces are glued together to make a thick stop bulkhead.

Mine was too small and slipped right through the center of the cage. I probably sanded off too much of the burnt laser edge.
A wrap of card stock strip was glued around the outside to increase the diameter.





The instructions have you glue the H pieces into the cage and then glue the "I" piece on top.
I glued the I piece to the Hs then glued the assembly into the cage top.

The top pentagon bulkhead is glued in place.
