Installing the Engine Mount When Building Model Rockets

Video Transcript

"And now after we have sanded the centering rings on the engine mount tube, we're now going to put the engine mount tube inside of the main body tube, up to a point because we have to glue it in. And now what you do is you take your glue and you apply a bead of glue inside the body tube, putting it all around the body tube, so that when you put the centering ring in it will be adhered to the body tube. Do that and then you push the body tube, the centering engine mount tube with the centering ring into the main body and you want to do it, so that the engine mount tube is flush with the end of the body tube. Then what you do is you take more glue and you put it on the body tube and the engine mount centering ring and put a fillet of glue a good one around, around that part of the model and let that dry. Let's just stand the model up and down like that in a safe area so that the glue can dry and just leave it alone like that, and you'll be fine."
