Estes Orbital Transport, Kit #K-42, Part 12, Wing Filling & Gluing






There's a LOT of balsa pieces!
Everything was filled with sanded CWF and sanded primer/filler.



Both sides of the wing were glued on using my Odd'l Rockets Fin Tool. These fins are far forward so I visualized the position through the slots in the base of the tool.
The wing tips are glued onto the outside edges of the wing sides. I should have done this before using CWF and filler/primer on the wings!

On the left you can see where the gluing surface was scraped for a better bond.




The edge is sanded round.

I had to go back and fill the end grain and joint seams.
