Estes Puma #7256 Build, Part 7, Vane and Strake Gluing

Now that the grain in the small engine vane pieces have been filled, they are glued on the pencil lines made earlier.

Don't use much glue so you can adjust the equal spacing when all the vanes are in place.

Check the spacing and make any adjustments before the glue sets up.

The back view shows the vanes on either side of the engine hook.




Here's the vertical stabilizer in place with the third dowel glued on the top.

The engine mount is glued in with the engine nook on the bottom. The rear centering ring is even with the back end of the tube.





The forward strake is glued onto the front of the stab and down the body. There will still be more filling of the notch where it contacts the wing.
