TLP Hawk Build, Part 5, Tail Cone Fitting

The supplied centering fit was way too loose inside the main airframe  tube.

Some thin strips of cardstock were cut and glued around the ring to widen the outside diameter.

Here's the dry fit of the tail cone assembly ready to be slid into the larger BT-80 tube.

It's an interesting sub assembly - 

The 24mm engine mount will slide into the interior BT-70 tube. 

I used a brush to add a glue fillet at the ring / shroud joint.

I didn't want too much and run the chance of the glue shrinking and puckering the shroud edge.

A sparse ring of glue was set onto the bottom of the BT-70 interior tube. Don't use a lot of glue, when it dries it might pucker the cardstock.

The tail cone assembly was slid up from the bottom into the line of glue.

A fillet was added to the top ring joint.
