Big Girtha Build Gluing the Engine Mount Part 16

The engine mount was glued into the main body with 1/4" of the engine tubes extending past the end of the main tube.

TIP: Note on the back of the main tube, the fin alignment line is extended back over the rear lip of the tube. The fin's root edge will totally cover the alignment line. This is another alignment point allowing you to center the fin right above this mark.

Make note of the two engine tube positions in relation to the fin alignment lines. With the mount in this rotation, it's easier to insert and remove the engines.



With the fins glued in place, you can see the position of the engine hooks between the fins. A little pre-planning makes your flight prep much easier.
