Mark one pair of the scramjet tube assem-

blies  1/2”  from  one  end.  Glue  the  long  (forward) 
ends of the tubes to the main wing with 1/2” over-

hanging  and  one  side  against  the  outboard  hous-
ing.  Check  that  the  mark  is  even  with  the  trailing 
edge of the wing and allow to dry.

Locate the scramjet outboard housing  (3) 

and sand the leading edge to a round shape. Note 
that Part (3) and part (6) are identical. Apply a bead 
of glue along the outermost line on one of the wing 
assemblies. Align the housing so it is even with the 
trailing edge of the main wing and perpendicular to 
the surface.

sary.

Apply  a  thin  bead  of  glue  around  the 

small end of the shroud  and attach it to the center 
of  the  paper  nose  block  on  the  end  of  the  glider. 
When it is dry, run a heavier bead around the inside 
of the ring at the joint. Using a small amount of thin 
CA to stiffen the shroud will increase is durability.
