Assemble the Mini-Condor Boost Glider
1. Cut apart the two fuselage hook plates
from the fuselage boom wood piece. Sand
off the little nubs of wood that held them
together using medium grit sandpaper.
2. Lightly sand the balsa wood laser-cut
sheets using fine, 400 grit sandpaper before
removing the parts. Carefully remove all the
pieces from the sheet by freeing the edges
with a sharp hobby knife.
3. For higher flights, round the forward
and aft edges of the balsa wing sheets with
sandpaper. Optionally, the wing pieces can
be airfoiled if a better glide is desired. The
tail pieces are very thin and can break eas-
ily, so you do not need to round the edges.
4. Attach the horizontal tail to the fu -
selage boom using wood glue. The short
pylon is inserted into the slot in the balsa as
shown. Make sure the piece is perpendicular
to the fuselage boom and not tilted.
5. Attach the vertical tail to the side of the
fuselage boom using wood glue. The rear
corner aligns with the corner of the fuselage
boom as shown. Make sure the piece is
perpendicular to the horizontal tail.
6. Coat both sides of the leading edge
and tip edge of the vertical tail with a thin
layer of CyA adhesive as shown. This will
help stiffen it up and protect it from damage
from scrapes when the glider lands after a
flight.
7. Glue one of the side hook plates to
the front of the fuselage boom using wood
glue. The curved corner faces the tail and
the front edge is flush with the front of the
fuselage boom. Allow the glue to dry.
