If the tail fins have been previously assembled, please go directly to the Instructions on the next page.
Tail Fin Assembly
From the Bionics Kit, locate the bag containing the tools. Next, locate the bags containing the small screws and nuts
(long and short) and the plastic support pieces (large and small). You will use the shorter screws and the smaller
support pieces to assemble the small tail fins.
To assemble a tail fin, attach the small support pieces to the inside of the fin using the shorter screws, nuts, and
tools. Repeat for the other tail fin.
