Quest/Enerjet Minotaur Q5015 Build, Part 7, SRB Sticker Placement


I wish this instruction sticker placement drawing was full size. You don't have any measurements to place the ring wraps. 
I enlarged the instruction drawing to fit the length of the BT-20 SRB tube. The inset picture shows a full-size drawing I made so I could place the bands consistently through all the six SRB tubes. Set the SRBs over the upper line drawing, use the extended lines to set the wrap around sticker lines. 

PATREON: If you are a blog supporter through Patreon, I can send you this PDF to make your Minotaur build easier. A new revision now includes the SRB number positions. 
Email me at oddlrockets@bellsouth.net and ask for the Minotaur SRB Template.


Here's how some of the horizontal bands lay using the template. 
That masking tape strip marks the main airframe glue line later on.




At the bottom of the PDF is a tube wrap so you can center the box on the top of the body tube.
Center on side of the wrap over the tape strip, the mark on the other side of the wrap gives you a center for the top box or low number sticker. The center wrap shown here is rough because of water from the sticker placement.
