UPGRADE: The engine hook wasn't spring steel. It reminded me of some Quest engine hooks from the past.
It didn't pass the "bend test" and was tossed. I replaced it with a spring steel hook from BMS.
The burnt faces of the centering rings were sanded clean with some 400 grit sandpaper. The back face of the rear ring will be seen on the finished model so it should be smooth.
The engine hook and Kevlar notches were cut but not all the way through. A rectangular diamond file was used to knock it out.
Mentioned earlier, the face of the rear centering ring is flush with the end of the body tube. It will be seen and needs to be smooth for some masking.
The wood grain got a coat of CWF and smooth sanding.
