ASP Corporal Build, Part 3, Engine Mount

The engine mount now includes an engine hook. An instruction addendum is included, it's pictured on the right.
The instructions are a little vague saying the centering rings are glued between 1/4" and 1/2" from the ends of the red engine mount tube.
This type of mount doesn't require a wrap of tape over the middle of the hook.
Top left: The upper ring was glued on just below the top bend of the engine hook.
Top middle: The rear ring was glued 7/8" from the rear of the tube. This allows movement of the engine hook. If the lower ring were glued any farther down the tube the hook would be hard to lift.

The inset picture shows the finished mount.
The Kevlar was tied around the tube and pressed into the centering ring fillet.
