A nut and washer are attatched to the backside of the bulkhead for eternity. The eyebolt is removable, allowing the nose cone weight to be adjustable.

After all the parts are made, placed in position, checked for fit and then glued down, the shoulder is added.

The boattail is hollowed out. It will now accept BT-70 tubing, centering rings and the motor tube with its parts.

The second of two hand made centering rings with a 3" O.D. and a BT-70 I.D. is already attached to the boattail .

The parts that are external and below the boattail are also test fitted.

Thank you for the encouragement!

The dog was the winner in a ugly dog contest, so someone cares for and about the dog.
 
Nice work (understated). This piece is coming along very nicely.
 
That looks fantastic! Can't wait to see it fly. Will you be doing swing tests?

I would prefer that the details required to build your version not be published. Some build photos showing progress would be cool, but templates, all the details, etc, preferably not.

Thank you for the interest and your comments. But it has been asked that details not be posted at this time, sorry.

I think the concern is with posting details that would trample upon a commercial product. Fair enough, though :D
 
Heck- if it's a vote-ya got mine just for the mad lathe skills alone bro'! Keep on postin'!
(I have to confess I have a lathe, but I'm seriously envious of the chap with the laser cutter in his basement! That's just too hard of a sell to the Viking Princess...)
