Estes Star Speeder #1366 Build, Part 12, Gluing On The Wings



The stabilizer is glued on the top of the BT-55 tail tube.
The rear edge of the vertical stab is placed 1/4" forward of the rear tube edge.



The wings are glued on in a standard 3 fin, 120 degree spacing.
The trailing edge of the wings are set 1/8" forward of the rear tube edge.
The tape (wrapped to fit) wing dowels are glued into the launch lugs on the outside edge of the wings.

TIP: Be very careful around the wing guns when handling the model. They are easy to snag and catch on things. I bent the launch lug and had some patch work to do.
