Semroc Little Joe II Part 19 Tower Nozzles


In Step 18, the four escape motor nozzles are made.

The shape of the nozzles on the shroud sheet look strange. That "S" shaped wavy inside line gives you the correct angle when gluing underneath the tail cone in the escape tower motor unit.

While the instructions don't tell you, the nozzle paper wraps twice around a sharpened dowel. Don't use any glue until you get the wrap correct. It'll take a few test wraps before it start to make sense.

After the glue is dry, set the nozzle back on the point. Lightly pinch and turn them against the sharpened dowel to form a good conical shape.
