To attach your Fin Unit, you will need to apply a bead of

glue along the bottom 2 inches of each fin line as shown in

Figure 25.

Figure 25

26.

Referring to Figure 26, slide the Fin Unit onto the bottom

of the body tube so that the lines of glue fit inside the

CORNERS of the Fin Unit and do not touch the fins. The

bottom of the Fin Unit should be even with the bottom of

the body tube.

(Thing-a-ma-FACT: The Leading Edge of a fin

is simply that part of a fin that LEADS the rest of the fin in flight.

You will notice in the figure that the Leading Edge is the edge that

faces the direction of flight. Likewise, the Trailing Edge is the

edge of the fin that TRAILS (is behind) the rest of the fin in flight.

ADULTS may wish to help with this step.

Now you must TWIST the fin unit around so that all 3 lines

of glue come into firm contact with the fin unit and the

Launch Lug is now aligned with a corner of the fin unit, as

shown in Figure 27. When complete, apply strong glue

fillets to all 3 corners of your Fin Unit as shown in the

bottom of Figure 27.

(Thing-a-ma-FACT: Glue Fillets are like

beads of glue. You apply the bead of glue then smooth it out

with the tip of your finger. This will make the joint very strong and

will also make the joint look better when you apply paint.

ADULTS may wish to help with this step.
