New Way MMX C-Thru Build, Part 5, Launch Lug Fit

The 3D launch lugs were too small a diameter to fit my Micro-Maxx launch rod.

Not a big deal, I've seen this before. Usually a small rat tail file is used to open them up but the side walls on the molded lugs were a bit thin.
The attached lugs were cut off.






I used one of the Dollar Store hollow Q-tip barrels for a new MMX lug.

The orange tube was colored, like the body and nose cone trim, with a wide point Sharpie marker.

The lug was cut down to a smaller size and glued into the fin root area.
TIP: The medium CA glue was transferred onto the fin root joint with a toothpick dipped into a drop of CA glue. I get better control over the amount of glue applied by doing it this way.

On the right is the new launch lug. The rocket is already prepped and ready to launch.
