Enerjet by Aerotech Initiator Build, Part 11, Sticker Planning

Don't simply jump in and start laying down stickers - 
Plan ahead to see which stickers need to be placed first for everything to be centered and all to be lined up.


The INITIATOR name is centered up the body tube between two fins lines, on the opposite side of the launch lug.

I find the center by pressing a piece of paper between two fins. Press in and crease the paper at the root edge. Match the creases, and fold in half to find the center.

Mark the body tube with a pencil at the centerline.  


The decals aren't stuck down yet, but are held in place with tape on the back.


Notice how the orange trim line cuts through the word INITIATOR and lines up with the orange down peak of the upper body wrap.



I set the INITIATOR name sticker by visually centering it in the white area between the leading edge of the fin and the upper wrap. 

Lightly mark the center with a pencil. 
You'll want to see the center mark after the backing is peeled off.






Also lightly pencil mark the top and bottom at the base and top of the INITIATOR sticker.
