Slide the tailcone pieces on the 1/4" dowel in numerical order
starting with 1 and ending with 21 glue each piece to the pre-
vious one using medium CA. You don't have to glue them to
the 1/4" stick. Made sure the scribed line on 1 is facing out-
ward. NOTE: There should be approx 1-1/2" extending from
1 to use as a hand hold while assembling.
The two 1/4" sticks should be even with 10. Cut or sand them
as necessary.

Sand the 1/4" stick even with 21 and glue 22 centered on 21.

Sand the tailcone to a smooth taper. Use balsa filler as
needed for a smooth finish. Be careful not to sand too much
off the base or it will not align properly with the fuselage.

Cut the 1/4" sticks off the back of the tailcone and sand flat.

Glue the TC23s to the fins on the tailcone as shown. Sand
the fins so they are smooth with TC23.

Round the top fin as shown.

Align the tailcone to the rear of the fuselage and glue in
place.
