Quest X-15 Build, Part 10, Lug and Fillets


I didn't bother trying to get a fillet between the bottom root edge of the strake and root edge of the rear fins. It's just too tight an area to apply glue or smooth it out.







From the back, be sure any open areas get some fill at the root edge joints.



The lug is glued to one side of the lower rudder and to the front of the leading edge.
Looking at it now I should have cut the lug front at an angle to match the leading edge.
There are a LOT of edges to fillet with Titebond M&TG.


The first undercoats of white followed.
Shoot the white first directly into the deep angles to be sure you've got good coverage.
