Assuming this is the Estes Phoenix with 24mm motor mount and BT-80 main tube, measure and cut the appropriate length of BT-50 tubing to extend the motor mount and glue in place with a BT-51 tube. IIRC the BT-51 tube sleeve fits outside the BT-50. so you can use it as a coupler. Erockets has 'em. Use an engine casing to ensure it is straight while drying. Optional: if the extension is long you may need to support it with another centering ring. Your discretion. And double check for stability, since you are adding weight to the aft end.Thanks for the input all. I couldn't manage to find a picture of this one complete.
Talking about pics, here's what I picked up this evening for about $30. Unfortunately the guy that was building the Pheonix has glued the MMT way too far into the air frame and I need to figure out how to remove and replace it without totalling the whole thing, suggestions are more than welcome.
