Cyclone Build Part 9 Engine Mount Prepping

Right now I'm on a cruise ship going down the Mexican Riviera. Internet connections are slow on board the ship, so only one posting. On the days when the connections are good, I'll do my regular two postings, but this morning - just this one!

The instructions tell you to use the Estes Mini-Engine Mount Kit # 303157.

I think the engine mount kit is out of production, so I made mine from engine casings and some leftover BT-5 tubing.

The 1" long AR-520 was cut from an engine spacing casing. I did have to remove some of the interior winds to get a good fit over the BT-5.

This is the 1" long AR-520 adapter after fitting.
