Estes Condor #0807 Build, Part 15, Gluing Up The Glider



The stabilizer is glued onto the fuselage.

Do your best to center the thinner piece on the thicker stock fuselage.



The wing panel root edges should be sanded to an angle for a stronger glue bond.

I mark the edge with a soft pencil so I can tell what has been sanded.
On the right side, I'm about half done sanding the angle, you can still see some pencil marking left.
Sand until the pencil mark is gone. 




I used the instruction illustration to get an idea of the wing edge and sanding block angle.

The wing half is on the left, the sanding block is on the right side.
The dihedral guides are on the back of the face card. I didn't want to cut up the face card.

I extended pencil lines and transferred those onto some thick cardstock. The cardboard was cut out for the next steps.
