GOTCHA: Something wasn't right. I had built three other full size Orbital Transports before.
Check the instruction photo showing the glider body tube. The front extends probably 3/8" beyond the front center tip of the wing. The kit supplied tube was too short!
Luckily I had some MicroMaxx sized tubing in the spare parts drawers.
Good thing I didn't add those wing glue fillets!
I used a single edge razor blade to remove the wing and rudder. The new longer tube was glued in place.
You can pre-form it using a sharpened dowel end.
The glue tab was held shut with tweezers while the glue set up.
TIP: Use very little glue to adhere card stock shrouds and nozzles like this.
The nozzle is glued to a small disk and coupler to be slid into the rear of the glider body tube.
