Estes Time Warp Build, #7321, Part 3, Engine Blocks

Jim Flis (Fliskits) gets credit for this engine block setting idea calling it the "Block and Tackle.".

TIP:
The mini motors (friction fitted) extend 1/4" out the rear of the BT-5 tubes. 
A 1/4" strip of masking tape is wrapped around and even with the end of the yellow spacer tube. 

This tape ring stops when it hits the end of the tube. 
All three engine block will be at the same depth.


The instructions the engine block glue line at 1" inside the tubes.
I'd recommend using a dowel pencil marked at 1 1/4" to apply a ring of glue inside the tube.
Apply the glue ring, slide in the engine block. Use the taped yellow tube to set the ring depth.



The three BT-5 tubes are ready for the centering rings.
