Estes Starship Nova #1371 Build, Part 17, Engine Housing Fittling


The split housings were marked for the 3/8" overlap of the card stock fairings.

The engine housing sides were sanded to fit after setting the split tube on the wing and rudder.







Here's a good fit against the wing.









I cut out the curved housing fairing.
When it was formed and curved that crease (already in the kit supplied card stock) really shows.




GOTCHA: A test fit showed it was too short, just like the intake fairings.

Two more will be traced on 110 lb. stock a little longer than the kit supplied fairings.
