AVI Nike Tomahawk Build Part 10 Gluing Shrouds

The laminated mats were cut just outside the penciled (final) diameter to allow for a custom fit to the shrouds. The rings aren't glued to the 20mm tube. Just slide them down dry.

A line of white glue was set inside the edge of the upper shroud and the shroud slid onto the rings.

When the shroud made contact with the rings it was turned to even out the internal glue fillet.

After the upper glue had dried, the lower assembly was glued on the bottom of the rings.







Here's the finished assembly before sanding the central rings to size and filling the shroud joints.
