Estes Phoenix Bird Build Part 16 Upper Name Bands

Draw a light pencil line down both sides of the body tube using the aluminum angle.

Find and mark the center point of these lines.
You'll be setting the edge of the "Phoenix Bird" name decal down this line.

The center tick of the line and center tick marked on the name sticker should both be lined up also.


For extra assurance, I ran a strip of masking tape below the pencil line .

Before laying down the decal, be sure the underlying surface is clean!!!!
As careful as I was, there was still a speck or two of dust that show through the decal.

Just the edge of the decal was set on the masking tape edge. Make sure the center ticks are lined up.

The decal on the other side is easy to position upside down! Double check the direction before applying.

I went ahead and marked the masking tape so I knew which side was forward and up.
