    K490 Pro CTI Nozzle Misaligned?

    I was unloading my (Unfired) K490 because I didnt get a chance to fly it again, I ran out of time. I noticed that my Nozzle assembly is crooked in the liner. Is this epoxied in, or will it align itself when the case goes together? Just getting a little worried. Its only off by a few mm so it might not even matter. Any ideas?

    Without pictures it's really hard to tell what you're concerned about. The aft closure and nozzle just fit into the end of the liner, so it might be "crooked in the liner", but this is nothing to worry about. But I'm not sure if you're talking about the nozzle itself.

    Im talking about the nozzle itself in the liner tube. It is off centered and I was wondering if it was epoxied in. Ill take a pic in a second

    The nozzle is not epoxied in.

    The nozzles are CA'ed into the liner to keep everything together during assembly. It will sear itself against the closure ring once under pressure.
