Centuri Nomad Clone Build Part 2 Engine Mount Fix




This shows the sloppy, loose fit of the Estes 20/50 ring in the Centuri style ST-10 tube. I'll have to build up the sides of the ring.







Strips of 20 lb. copy paper were cut a little wider than the 1/4" width of the centering rings.






A glue stick was used instead of white glue down the entire length of the paper strip.
For gluing this paper strip, a glue stick is perfect. It's not as wet as white glue and allows for re-positioning.




Simply roll the glued paper strip around the ring.
This ring took an 11" length of 20 lb. paper for a tight fit in the ST-10 tube.
