While I had put 7.25" on page 1, I am now going with 8" total length.

This gives about 1/2" from the rear of the upper nacelle. Or, 1/2" short of the tapered ones. With an engine hook, I hope, that gives the engine space to burn and NOT take the cardstock with it...

Other than that, adjust it to what you think looks right.

This is as far as I have gotten myself. The only BT-20 I have is a thick tube and doesn't fit right.

And, I have built about 8 nose/bridges, trying to get that right...

So with the combined total of the BT and the motor hook I have a 1/2" hanging out the back.

With everything installed, I have the hook coming out 3/4" out from the upper hull section. But not quite reaching the tapered end.

Nice!

I'm planning on enlarging this to a BT-50 or BT-55.

Once I got it done, I was thinking an upscale would be nice too! After this one, I'm ready for a break though...

Let us know how it turns out.

Also, thought of a modified nose cone to make it a little more accurate.
