Quest X-15 Build, Part 2, Centering Ring Laminations


When I ordered the X-15 parts pack, I also ordered four of the Quest 35mm centering rings Part # 16002.

These are cut from thin, rough cardboard. They are probably strong enough by themselves, but seem thinner than what I'm used to.

Two rings were glued and laminated together.
I slid them over a BT-20 sized tube to be sure they were centered.

Clothes pins clamped the two rings together while the glue dried.


Here's the finished rings after gluing them together.
These doubled up rings feel much stronger without adding much weight at all.
