Enerjet by Aerotech Strong Arm Build, Part 19, Placing The Roll Bar Stripes

Setting the vertical roll bar stickers straight with even spacing is difficult. 

How can you leave 17/32" space between them accurately?

      

Two vertical stripes have to be centered between the fins. Mark the center line first. 

Make a simple cardstock centering guide. 

Roll some cardstock around the tube, mark the end of the dorsal fins. Using a ruler, find the center and mark. Make light pencil center lines on the tube. 

Repeat and find the centers between all the dorsal fins.

Before placing any stickers - 

Use a clean knife blade to handle the stickers.

Rub a line of water on the body tube where the sticker will go.

After peeling off the sticker backing, dip it in water and leave wet. The wet sticker allows you lift and reposition.

Notice the placement guide I printed out.

I drew pencil lines, 1/4" to each side of the print line to total 1/2", the width of the stickers.

The low end of the placement guide was slid down to the 6 1/2" top of the sticker position.

Set the top of the sticker between the pencil lines

Use the aluminum angle to line up the sides of the stickers. 

When done, you should be close to the recommended 17/32" spacing between the bars.
