Estes Blackhawk #2053 Build, Part 6, A Third Vent Tube!



This instruction drawing better shows the assembly.
The ejection charge goes up, makes left turn then goes up again. Remeber, there's a bulkhead in the larger tube that directs the ejection charge up. 
That Centuri rear eject would have been easier.



Here's the final vertical tube, a BT-50.
This one also gets a reinforcement coupler and another cut hole.

I'm marking the dowel to apply glue inside the tube. The tubes above give me a height reference.



The yellow tube pushes in the coupler.
The yellow tube also sets the cardstock bulkhead. 







The final circle cut!

Tape and mark with the guide wrap. Pencil trace and another new #11 blade!
