The trimmed "L" tube is glued onto one of the lines on the BT-55 body tube, 1/2" from the rear.
Another white spray followed to seal the visible rough surface. A little more sanding followed.
I did a dry test fit of the inside engine assembly.
All the launch lugs should end up even with the rear of the BT-55 main tube.
With the lugs ends even, notice the forward points of the vanes extend beyond the angle cut at the tube front.
Looking at the face card picture -
The vane tips are inside the edge of the cut tube.
Visually, I think the vane tips should be inside the angled tube edge.
I'll have to shorten the assembly to bring the vane tips just inside the outer tube edge.
