Because I didn't follow the instructions I had to make some special considerations before gluing everything together.For one, alignment of the launch lugs.
The motor mount tubes got a roll of masking tape 1 1/8" from the top. This is how far down the upper body tube will be glued.
After I made sure the lugs were in line, alignment marks were made on the tape.
Another piece of tape was added to the upper body tube for alignment.
When it was slid together and all the tick marks were in place, a glue fillet was added inside. The fillet was placed drop by drop using the rounded back end of a paint brush.
The centering ring isn't really that far down inside, it's just a camera angle illusion.
