Estes Time Warp Build, #7321, Part 4, Centering Ring Laminates


The center triangle of the centering rings will probably break off. There's not much to hold it in the center.

I'll show how to block the hole (and the ejection charge) in the next post.

When laminating the two sets of two rings, 
use one of the BT-5 tubes to check the alignment.

Don't glue the tube to the rings (yet), use the tube to be sure all three holes are lined up.





The instructions suggest sliding the ring down from the top into a glue ring.

For a cleaner build and less visible glue -  
I slid the centering ring up from the bottom pushing the glue ring up. It's a cleaner visual outside joint on the finished model.. 
You don't have to use much glue, you can always add a glue fillet later.
