Here's the next one that will be going in my Starbuck's fleet. They just keep getting more odd, and I'm fearful, less likely to be stable. This is just a dry fit, for lack of a better description. I need to make or buy a few centering rings, get the motor block and retainer clip in place, and then glue it all together.

I promise, I have regular rockets in my fleet. In fact, I have a QCC Explorer and a Flis Stingray just sitting on the workbench calling out to me. I just keep getting distracted.

So what happens if the motor tube isn't straight up through the center of a saucer, if it somehow ended up not quite perfectly perpendicular to the flat part?
 
I'd guess it would corkscrew, but I couldn't say for sure. Please get some video...
