Apogee SR-72 Darkbird Build Part 2, Wings and Fins

The main fins are long, made up of three pieces.

I set them down on a straightedge. The upper picture shows the main wing before the edges were fitted.


The joint edges got hit with a sanding block until a good fit was achieved.

The outside part of the wing is made up of two pieces. Both were glued up on a straightedge.

The instructions said to use CA glue for most of the rocket construction. I used yellow wood glue.

The instructions don't mention it, but I did round the leading edges of the wings after everything was glued together.

For the first time in a while - The tube marking guides actually fit the tubes. Everything wrapped and lined up. Thanks Apogee!

Why can't all the vendors get this right?
