Enerjet by Aerotech, Astrobee D Build, Part 32, Gluing On The Rear Lugs




Check the scale data sheet for positioning of the rear launch lugs. One goes on each side, centered between two fins.



A positioning template is supplied.
I cut out the sides and the center.

Double check to see if the lug fits accurately in the center area. 


A pencil line was drawn, but inside the edges of the paper template. I didn't want a pencil line that couldn't be erased being so close to the edges of the glued on lug.

Two pieces of tape were set down for a positioning aid. The centers were marked.








I applied medium CA glue to the underside of the lug, not to near the outside edges. 

The lug was pressed in place and held until set. The masking tape pieces were removed.
