Estes Delta Wedge Clone #1931 Build, Part 6, Lug Fillets & Engine Block

After the glue dried, This shows how little was used in the rear plate fillets.

No glue on the lugs yet.

I ran a line of glue down one side of the lug.

The lug is turned from the back pushing the glue line into the joint.

Now you can add some glue to the back end of the lug/plate joints.

I didn't like that there was no engine block. I'd rather use some Kevlar tied to the block than have a tri-fold shock cord mount blocking the parachute.

A notch was cut in the block and Kevlar tied on.

The block will be slid down from the top of the tube dry, and meet the glue line applied in the next picture. 

For now, position the block in a "ready" position to be slid down using a dowel.

Using a dowel, a line of glue was set in the tube just above the upper bend of the engine hook.

The block was pushed into the glue, down from the top using a dowel. Keep sliding the block down until it rests against the upper bend of the hook.

Remove any excess glue using two Q-tips taped together for the extra length needed to reach it.
