Quest Tomahawk SLCM Build Part 7 New Shroud

I needed a new shroud, the supplied shroud won't fit around the new ST-7 motor mount tube.

Go to www.payloadbay.com and then to "tools".
At the shroud tool input the measurements:
Tube 1 = 1.57" (The Quest 40mm tube)
Tube 2 = .759" (The ST-7 engine mount tube)
Length = 2.16" (The height of the Tomahawk boat tail shroud.




The outside shroud lines were extended forward until they crossed.
Using the fin marking lines on the wide end of the original shroud, tick marks were made for the fin lines.
These tick marks were extended to the intersection of the extended outside lines.






A test fit of the shroud showed it was a little wide at the top. I carefully sanded down diameter.
