Well now I gone and did it.
I am near completion of my Renegade kit.
Fins and boosters in place almost ready for paint.
I am looking in the bag at whats left of the parts and to my horror I see a thrust ring.
On further inspection I find that I forgot to install the thrust ring in the sustainer motor mount. Ouch.
Now the question is, Do I risk getting glue all over the inside of the motor tube and push it up from the bottom or do I just leave it out and rely on a good friction fit? (this model uses no clips so the motor is friction fitted anyway)
I have to keep in mind the pressure of the booster when staging as well as thrust of the sustainer motor.
Any ideas?
