Estes Skytracer Clone #1361 Build, Part 3, Making The Nozzles

It's clever how the Estes designers used the old Centuri kit nozzle pieces. 

Flip around the intake cone and glue into the back end of the nozzle!

   

Here's the back end of my homemade nozzles from the recent Centuri Quasar clone.

I made this end from a plastic pen barrel and a segment of a balsa nose cone.

The intake was made from the tip end of a sharpened dowel.

Here's a link to the Quasar jet intakes and nozzles:

Are these exact copies of the original parts? 

No, but they capture the feel of the design.

The ramjet tip end needs a base that will slide in and glue into the BT-5 tube.

Trace around a 13mm engine block onto some thick cardstock.

Cut out the circle piece with scissors.

Glue the circle piece over the end of the engine block ring.

Sand and even up the edges even.

Here's the two needed intake bases next to the short BT-5 tube.

The sides don't have to be perfect, they will be recessed a bit inside the tube edge.
