Estes DARC-1, #7307 Build Part 19, Fin Gluing





Here's the left side fin with the "U" piece to set the angle.
Notice the root edge of the fin against the body - you can get a better fit.


The root edge forward and behind the TTW tab can be sanded at an angle to match the curvature of the shroud.

Enlarge this shot to see the angle on the right side picture.
Here's a better fit of the root edge.

The fin was glued on with CA glue.
Fabri-Tac glue was used for a fillet along the root edge.
It's a little tough to get the Fabri-tac fillet smooth, so it will need some sanding after it dries.





Construction is complete - 

On to masking and paint.
