Construction is still progressing on the Lunar Patrol…
Glider wings and rudders are now glued into place and light
fillets applied.
The two ’V’ fin assemblies are now filled/finish sanded and glued into the proper positions on the booster body tubes.
Since the fins were made from the full- sized kit patterns,
they were intended for body tubes of slightly larger diameters than the Estes
BT-20 tubes I am using for this build. Consequently, the ends of the fins need
to be sanded down a couple of millimeters in length so that the glider
fuselages will fit flush against the booster side tubes.
More to come…..
