So I'm building the PSII Argent from Estes and have decided to leave off the rear centering ring to reinforce the fins, as many here have reported too. But the instructions have a diagram that really surprises me!
There are three centering rings on the motor tube, and if you build per the instructions you glue them all three on the motor tube and then when that dries you shove the motor mount up into the body tube. But first, you're supposed to put 3 rings of glue inside the body tube for the rings. Like this...
Did anyone try it this way??? It seems to me that if you did, the upper centering ring would smear all the glue from the lower two glue rings on it's way up, leaving very little for the lower two centering rings. They're a really tight fit so the amount of glue left over would be very little, if any.
