USE ONLY WOOD GLUE FOR THIS
STEP!
Glue the disk centering ring at the 1.0
inch (25.4mm) line on the engine tube. The
large green ring is glued up against the disk
ring. While the glue is still wet, pull the shock
cord tight up against the green ring. Apply a
bead of wood glue over the shock cord to hold
it down against the engine tube.
Allow the glue to completely dry. Once it is
inside the plastic boattail, it will never dry be-
cause air cannot circulate around the glue. So
it must be completely dry before continuing.
14. Glue the two winglets on the tips of the
two wings using wood glue. Make sure they
are perpendicular to the wing. Allow the glue
time to dry.
15. Cover work surface with a piece of
plastic to keep the parts from sticking to it.
Then glue the two wing halves together using
wood glue. The root edge joint should lay flat
on the table, and the winglets will lift up the
tips to give the correct amount of dihedral. Al-
low the glue to completely dry, and then apply
glue fillets to all the joints.
16. Glue the horizontal tail fins onto the top
of the vertical tail using wood glue. Make sure
that it is not skewed. Allow the glue to com-
pletely dry, and then apply glue fillets to all the
joints.
17. Draw a line down the length of each of
the two jet engine nacelles [the tubes that are
1.325 inch (33mm) diameter by 2.25 inches
(57 mm) long]. Glue the nacelle tubes to the
balsa stand-off pieces with wood glue. Use the
line on the tubes to make sure the tubes are
aligned straight along the tube.
Joint rests on the table surface.
