Free Applewhite Pinwheel Part 4 Engine Mount

The engine mount tube (Part D) is simply one wrap of card stock around a MMX engine.
Wrap the card stock tight and burnish over the glue tab.





The engine mount tube is pressed into the center hole until about 1/8" extends out over the top and bottom.

Leave the casing in the tube to keep it round while it dries.
Fillet the top and bottom where the tube extends beyond the body.

Note: This picture shows the top of the Pinwheel. The nozzle is at the bottom.

Here's how the engine block is made, a masking tape wrap around the bottom of the engine casing.
The simple wrap of tape prevents the engine from moving forward.
