Estes Skytracer Clone #1361 Build, Part 5, Making The Nozzles



Here's dry fit of the nozzle front and rear.

On the left is the first try with the shorter nozzle on the round pen barrel.



On the right you can see the slightly longer nozzle.

Disassembled - and fit together. 
The right side engine block coupler goes into the BT-5 tube. The clear pen barrel will be cut down and short.
That'll work!

  1. This is the most fun kind of work when doing a scratchbuild. I'm looking forward to seeing how this comes out.

    1. Hi Neil,
      I agree - The kit research and spare parts fabrication is rewarding. Scratch build clones may not be 100% accurate but I don't care. Close enough!
