Model Minutes Leduc 22 Build, Part 10, Launch Lug


The launch lug is a tightly rolled piece of card stock.
You are given a plastic drinking straw to use as a diameter guide.

To get it tight enough I reached in with my tweezers, grabbed the glue tab and turned.


Glue was applied and the card stock rolled tight again.
A rubber band was wrapped around it to keep it tightly closed.

The straw is pulled out before the glue dries.
Here I'm rounding out the ends with a sharpened dowel.
This is a very thick walled launch lug.
