Kitting Up Sputniks - Part 4





Thirty BT-5 engine mount tubes were cut to size.


Sure, you could buy them pre-cut, but you'll save 10 cents per kit by buying longer tubes and cutting them to size.


A "Stop Disk" is glued in at the top of the engine mount tube to prevent the ejection charge from frying the inside of the ball.

These are actually a double layer plywood glued together with a "high tech" clamp.
Make 30 of these.


Here's the small parts bag for the Sputnik kit.
Thirty of these were made up.

Next up, 25 sets of four dowel legs will have to be prepared.
