Print Page12. Locate the plywood centering ring
without any notches on it. Using wood glue,
attach it to the inside of one end of a red
coupler.
13. Apply wood glue to the threads of
the metal screw eye, and screw it into the
plywood bulkhead. Do not twist it in past the
threads on the shank. Apply glue to both
sides of the bulkhead where it exits the hole.
14. Glue the bulkhead into the remaining
red tube coupler using wood glue. Recess
it slightly into the end of the tube. When the
glue has dried, put a fillet of glue on both
sides of the bulkhead where it touches the
inside of the tube.
15. Take the engine mount tube from
step 11. Put a bead of wood glue around
the outer perimeter of the plywood ring and
a ring of glue just forward of the cut-out as
shown. Slide the red coupler from step 12
over the rear end of the engine mount tube
so the coupler is even with the front end of
the plywood centering ring. Wipe off any
excess glue that oozes out onto the surface
of the coupler, and allow the glue to dry.
16. Take the metal engine hook and put
the tab on the front into the slot at the rear
end of the cutout on the engine mount tube
as shown. Locate the plywood centering ring
with the wide notch on the inner circle. Slide
the notch over the engine hook and glue the
ring between the etched lines on the engine
mount tube. Put a fillet of glue on both sides
of the ring where it touches the tube.
17. Glue the two launch lugs onto the 9
inch long tube inside the rectangles that are
etched into the surface of the tube. Make
sure the lugs are aligned straight so they will
slide easily on the launch rod. Apply a fillet
of glue to both sides of the lugs and allow
them to dry.
