Estes Odyssey #7235 Build, Part 25, Gluing On Small Rudders & Launch Lug




Here's the instruction drawing showing the positioning of the underside rudders and launch lug. 
The small rudders are glued in the pencil line boxes drawn earlier.
The part J template is printed on 20 lb. paper, a little thin for a fin position tool. 

To stiffen it up, I glued the guide onto some cardstock with a glue stick.



TIP: If you carefully apply two thin glue contact lines -
You won't have to deal with launch lug fillets, that bubble when the fillet dries.

Keep the two glue lines close together so the pressed out glue won't be seen if it squeezes out when the lug is pressed in place.
