61 Glue both the strakes and the tailhook
assembly into place, check for alignment
carefully while drying.
62 Check the fit of the tail fairing, rough up
the area, and epoxy into place.
63 Sand the refueling probe to fit the nose at
the correct angle. Use the plans to check the
location and fit.
64 Install the refueling probe on the nose
using epoxy. Alternatively, you can use
sliding brass or aluminum tubes (not
provided) to make the probe removable, as it
is very subject to damage while transporting
the model to and from the field.
64A. Removable nose probe. Find two
aluminum tubes that will slide together snugly.
Cut them to approximate length. Drill into the
nose probe and securely epoxy the smaller
tube into the nose probe. When the tube is
dry, coat it with a little Vaseline to keep it from
sticking in the next step.
64B. Drill for the larger tube into the nose and
firmly epoxy the tube into the fuse, constantly
checking for the right angle using the nose
probe.
