Estes Aries SST, #1927, Build, Part 10, Fitting The Rudders To The Wing





Stack the rudder assemblies to be sure the glued angles are consistent.

If they don't line up, apply a little warmth with the low setting on a heat gun and gently bend at the glue joint to match the other rudder assembly. 





On the outside (visual) seam,
Drag some CWF down the joint and immediately smooth and remove excess with a fingertip.

Sand after the CWF dries.




The outside side seam is sanded flat for a stronger glue joint against the edge of the wing.

Use a sanding block but don't go any wider the the 3/32" thickness of the wing.
