A simple 1/8" wide wrap of tape stops the engine casing when pressing the engine block in place. This will leave a friction fitted MMX engine with 1/8" extended out the back of the tube.
Here's the toothpick included in the kit.
I measured just below the engine block position so it would hit the glue before ending up in it's location.
The Kevlar line is tied to the loop at the top of the red engine block.
Mark the toothpick with pencil,
A drop of glue is applied to the top of the toothpick and set in the tube using the pencil line as a depth gauge.
The block is slipped in and pressed into place with the taped engine casing.
The wings and rudder fins are glued onto the laser cut lines on the body tube.
The forward small vane fins are glued to the lines towards the front of the tube.
Dry fit the Dorsal Bar piece before applying any glue. You may have to widen the slot to slide over the Rudder fin.
The Dorsal Bar piece is glued over the top rudder fin.Mine overhang the back by about 1/16". That will be trimmed off after the glue dries.
