Quest X-30 Aerospace Plane Part 3, Engine Mount




You aren't told to do so, but notch the engine hook so when the Kevlar is tied it'll slide in the yellow tube easily.
As I mentioned earlier, the engine hook will have to go!

I've decided not to use a hook. The yellow tube extends out the back and I can keep the engine in place with a wrap of tape on the outside.
The outside layers of the yellow tube could lift when the tape is removed so it will get a coat of CA glue applied with a Q-tip.

Lines are drawn on all three bulkheads for alignment when gluing.

It's easy to find the centers for the pencil lines, you just draw from the hold down "tick marks". Very smart, Quest!
