Quest Falcon #Q1009 Build, Part 4, 24mm Engine Mount


I dry fitted (no glue) the centering rings.
A dry fit showed if I had room for the tape wrap over the engine hook.

I traced around the inside edges of the rings.

The tape wrapped around the tube  centered between the pencil lines.

The Kevlar was tied using modified Square Knot.

TIP: The first half of the knot got an additional turn. When pulled tight around the tube, this extra wrap keeps the overhand knot tight for the second (reversed) overhand knot on top. 







The upper ring is glued on 1/4" from the top of the tube.
The lower ring is glued 1/2 inch from the bottom.
