Quest AS-1 Escort Build, Part 8, Fin Fill and Tube Gluing





The front edge of the two piece fins have a visible break.
Some CWF is set on the seam.



The inset picture shows sandpaper wrapped around a Q-tip stick.
This was used to round off the filler corner.
On the left is after the filler/primer was sanded down.


GOTCHA: The instructions say to mark the center tube at 1/4" and 4" from the rear for applying the glue line. The glue area should really be at 1/8" and 5".
For easier alignment, extend the centerline mark onto the engine mount tube.


The center engine tube is glue to the inside top of the rear tube.
Use your centerline marks to place the tubes in line. Double check the rear to be sure everything is centered.
