Estes Mini A Heli #007272, Build, Part 13, Helicopter Blades

Yellow glue was run down the open cut line and the excess removed and smoothed out with a Q-tip.

Go a few inches at a time, don't allow the glue to set and skin over before smoothing it out.

Here's how the backside of the blade showing the break line.

The blade reinforcement pieces are cut from the fiber paper. You barely have enough to trace and cut four pieces. You'll only need three.

I only smoothed glue over 3/4 of the fiber paper. This gave me something to hold onto when the reinforcement was positioned on the hinge arm end.




The glued side was centered and pressed into place.



Glue was added to the dry side and pressed down even with the end of the balsa blade.
