MPC Martian Patrol Build Part 12 Odds and Ends


The center Trim Weights were set into a small pool of epoxy on the top side center indents.
More epoxy was spread on the back of the saucer caps and post.

The caps were pressed into the center of the weights and into the foam saucer. Excess epoxy was wiped off.


Here's the shock cord mount glued inside the body tube.

The instructions suggest mounting it 1" down from the top. That's plenty of clearance considering the adapter shoulder (with glued on base) is only 5/16" long - very short.
