Tie the other end of this same Shroud Line to the next
hole, so that
ONE
Shroud Line is tied to
TWO
holes.
Repeat this step with the other 2 Shroud Lines until your
parachute looks like what is shown in the INSET of
Figure

may wish to help with this step.

23. Cut out the
Shock Cord Mount
from the Fin Pattern
Sheet. Secure the
Shock Cord
(elastic cord) into the
Shock Cord Mount as described here and shown in
Figure 23.
First, fold the paper mount along both fold
lines then open and lay flat. Apply a glue film along the
entire surface of the mount and lay the shock cord onto
the mount as shown. Fold over the top of the mount and
apply another film of glue as shown. Fold again and apply
a liberal amount of glue to the entire face of this Shock
Cord Mount and glue inside the top of the Body Tube at
least 1” inside the tube..

Figure 24,
tie the free end of the Shock Cord
to the Screw Eye in the Nose Cone. Also tie the gathered
Shroud Lines of the Parachute to the Screw Eye.

Figure 25
shows you two different views of how your
model should look. To complete your model and get it
ready for finishing (painting), run a bead of white glue
along
EVERY
glue joint and smooth it out with your finger
tip. This is called a
“Glue Filet”.
Be sure to apply a glue
filet at both sides of every joint where the fin meets a fin tip
and where the fins meet the body tube and even around
the launch lug, as shown in
Figure 25.
(
NOTE:
Do not get
glue or paint inside the launch lug!)

Congratulations! You have just completed building the
Triskelion
model rocket kit from FlisKits!
To finish your model, seal all balsa parts with 2-3 coats of
Sanding Sealer,
sanding with 400 – 600 grit sand paper
between coats. Before painting, apply 1-2 coats of primer to
your model. Paint your model any color that strikes your fancy!
You can use the cover art for painting ideas.
If you want to get REAL fancy, you can use the patterns found
on the Fin Pattern Sheet to make a mask so that you can paint
