Piglet-sus! Build Part 5 Engine Mount



Here's both rolled centering rings on either side of the motor mount tube.
I did use a sanding block to smooth out the flat sides of the rolled rings.  Be sure the glue is dry before sanding flat.




A small hole is drilled for the Kevlar shock cord.
Look close at the picture and you can see the gray engine block glued flush with the forward end of the mount.
1/8" was cut from an expended MMX engine casing to make the block.



Two overhand knots were tied on one end of the Kevlar shock cord. The free end was fed through the drilled hole.
The knot was pulled tight against the centering ring and glued down.
