Estes Delta Wedge Clone #1931 Build, Part 4, Fitting The Parts





Note the glue line down the tube in front of a wedge fin. You really don't need much glue to adhere the internal fin extension ribs.
The instructions better show this part of the build.
Before the ribs are glued in, the engine hook was placed and a retainer ring glued on top.
The notch under the long support ribs goes over the Mylar ring.

There isn't an engine block, some kits from this era didn't include them.


Here's the view from the back plate.

The wedge fins are glued to the tube and overhang the face of the rear plate.
The tabs on the plate slide into the wedge fins.


Another test fit of the large wing before gluing.
This model required a lot of fitting and adjustments before glue is applied.









On one side, the cut out for the wedge fin had to be widened slightly.
