Estes Star Stryker Build, #3206, Part 7, Lower Fin Gluing





The first lower fin glued in place.
Four more to go - 

On the left is how much glue I use on a root edge, right out of the bottle.

On the right is how much glue is used to tack the fin in place. Run your finger down the sides of the root edge picking up and removing excess.

Using less glue means very little squeeze out outside the body tube joint.



Viewed from the rear: 
At the 12 o'clock position you can make out the rear fin in line with the larger forward fins.











All ten fins and the launch lug and standoff in place.
This is a very busy tail end.
