Centuri Screaming Eagle Build, Part 3, Prep and Engine Mount





The edges of the fins needed some smoothing.
The four sided fingernail file easily got into the tight corners.







There was plastic flash at the base of the nose cone.
The "nubbin" at the tip of the cone was sanded off and the tip rounded.
The engine clip is set into the notch on the ST-7 engine mount tube.
No tape wrap is needed, the tube and hook slide in until the top end hits four small raised areas inside the upper lip.

With the mount in position, the white tube extends about 1/8" out the back.
