Estes Thor Agena B Build Part 45 Nozzle Details

I drilled a small hole for the bottom of the turbine oil discharge wire.
This small of a piece would need a little more support than just be glued beside the turbine exhaust lug.

I bent and cut another wire with a longer base end to fit into the hole.
The hole was drilled completely through the centering ring. This would allow some height adjustment of the discharge wire.


Here's the wire in position.

I used a toothpick to transfer white glue around the attachment points.

There is still the fuel tank vent to be added. It's made from igniter width wire.
I threw away all my burnt igniters after the last launch. I'll save some after the next launch and make it then.
