Estes Interceptor Build #1250, Part 3, Engine Mount

To find the length of the swab tube, do a dry fit of all the engine mount parts.
For now I used the Mylar ring to hold the engine hook in place.






The instructions have you glue the upper ring flush (even) with the end of the motor tube.
I chose to position it farther down and over the end of the engine hook. This makes a stronger mount, locking the upper end of the hook in place.





Here's the finished mount.
Electrical tape was used instead of the Mylar ring. The tape holds the engine hook and the swab tube in place.

TIP: The Interceptor has a tail cone extension. When the Kevlar is tied around the rear centering ring, be sure to leave a tail long enough to grab with tweezers if you want to check the condition of the Kevlar.
