TIP: Carry the fin alignment lines around the end edge of the body tube. These fins are even with the end of the body tube so the line down the body tube will be covered up.
GOTCHA: The instructions tell you the the wings and standoff should project straight away from the body tube.
Later on in the instructions, a drawing shows the correct angle of the wings. They don't mention sanding an angle in the root edge for better gluing.
The small launch lug is tucked into the root edge of a wing.
The pencil lines show where two narrow lines of glue will be applied.
I used my fingertips to form two narrow beads of glue for a cleaner joint.
Fillets are applied with Titebond M&TG.
The ends of the fillets were tapered around the end of the lug with a Q-tip.
