Estes Gryphon #7280 Build, Part 4, Gluing up the Pod Hook

Pay close attention and do a few dry fits to get an idea how the hook is glued up.

Only the upper half of the outside pieces gets glue!

Here's one side showing the glue. Set the pieces side by side and draw a pencil line at the glue area border.

I used my flipped clothes pins to hold the laminated hook together wile the glue dried.

The front end of the hook was contour sanded with some 400 grit wrapped around a used engine casing.

After sanding I had to fill the seam left from the layered pieces.
