Starlight Jayhawk Build Part 12 Half Flare Tube

To get a close approximation of the tunnel size and diameter, I up sized the Centuri Magnum Jayhawk drawings on my computer monitor.
This gives a rough visualization for the flare tunnel size and diameter.

After going through my scrap body tubes and nose cones, I picked the Quest MicroMaxx MMX2 body tube (#9528) and nose cone. (#19990)

The body tube was cut in half lengthwise down the entire length of the tube using a sharp knife and an aluminum angle.

After cutting, sand the back square and straight on a block.



Then sad the cut tube edges again against the body tube with 400 grit sandpaper. This matches the cut tube sides to the curvature of the body tube.
