This is the jig that I came up with to achieve a consistent 10 degrees tilt of teh booster nozzles.

Two of the nine "strap-on" boosters that I have to make. The nozzles for these motors need to be tilted outward at 10 degrees.

These ar the master patterns that I will use to make RTV molds for duplicating parts. I will need 9 ea of the smaller nozzles, nose cones and blank end plates.

The beginnings. I am working off of a PDF from Aries Paper Models. Fortunately the 1/72 scale of these plans work with stock PVC pipe for the most part. I have turned the masters for the engine nozzles and nose cones from popular dowel stock.

Hey y'all, I'm back. Short tale of woe: I cut out all of teh ribs and wing parts for the Loening last week, the found that I had used the 1/16 scale set of plans instead of the 1/12 scale. Disgusted is putting it mildly. While recovering from that Faux Pau, I decided to utilize my new minuature Lathe to whip ot a Boeing Delta II Launch Vehicle that carried teh Mars Rover "Spirit" to the Red Planet. So with James (and the general populace's approval) I will turn my corner of the site into the "Virtual Aero(space) Drome" for a while. [James if you could add "Delta II No. 298" to the scratchbuilt cagegory?

Tire material: before and after. This a piece of vacuum hose from teh atuomotive store. You can also use foam filler rod. I cut the tubing just a LITTLE shorter than the teh circumference of the rim and used gell superglue and held it together for a minute until the CA set-up. I snaded the whole tire down with 100 grit papaer then use my Dremel tool with a coarse scotch-brite wheel to buff it all to the same appearance.

All done. Note the offset of the rim holes as I mentioned earlier.
