Dr. Zooch Saturn V Build Step 10B Part 1 Heat Exchanger Spoofs

Today we'll go back to Step 10B and finish up the nozzles:

You’ll need five 3/8" long pieces of dowel for the heat exchangers, four for the build and one extra.
The dowel is cut longer than needed and will be trimmed to size before gluing to the engine bells.
5 dowel pieces, each 3/8" long equals 1 7/8" dowel needed.
You won’t see much of the dowel end once the finished heat exchanger is glued in place.
The "spoof" patter was traced from the instructions onto 20 lb. copy paper. Five were cut out.


Just like the string hat bands on the lower shroud, glue down the tab edge and let dry before wrapping.




Be sure all the wraps face the same way.

Lay a small drop of glue on the inside of the spoof surface near the glued end. Spread that drop down the inside surface with a toothpick making a thin coat all the way to the end.
 






Roll the spoof in place making sure the top edge is even with the top of the dowel end.
