I have begun construction of my Echostar, and I have encountered a problem. By my measurements, the booster body tube is .25" too long. If I make no changes, the booster engine will recess into the MMT. This is only my second 2 stage, and the first time I have found such a blatant problem with any kit. I am unsure how to proceed, and so I ask you: Would your advice to me be:
a) Remeasure, rookie. I have built the kit and there is no problem.
b) Go with it. It's only .25".
c) Move the engine block in the sustainer stage back .25"
d) Mount the MMT in the booster .25" forward.
e) Cut a .25" spacer from an expended engine and place that between the two engines.
f) Cut .25" off of the booster body tube.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
