Taping the Engine Mount for Building Model Rockets

"Now I'm going to take the engine tube with the engine clip, which we had mounted on previously and had cut a hole in order to insert the clip into the engine mount tube. And now I'm going to wrap masking tape around the tube at the one inch level, which, as you can see from the line, the line it's right here. So, you take the masking tape and make sure the clip is straight up and down on the tube and you wrap the masking tape around the clip once, twice, about three times. And it's "about." You don't have to be perfect, but don't do it once or twice. Now you have the tip of the clip firmly connected to the tube. We will be gluing this later. But, right now you're starting to see an assembly of an engine mount tube."
