20. 

You now need to draw a line at all 4 marks on your body 
tube.  

Figure 20

 shows you how you can use a “drawer 

sill” to draw a straight line.  Open a drawer and lay your 
body tube just inside the drawer front (this is the “sill”). 
Use the top of the drawer front as a guide to draw your 
straight line.    You can also use the vertical edge of a 
door opening, which is called a “door sill”.

21. 

Locate your completed Engine Mount from Step 7.  
Referring to 

Figure 21,

 pass the Kevlar® Cord up through 

the body tube, from the bottom, until the cord comes out of 
the top of the body tube.

 

 

 

Figure 21 

 

22. 

Referring to

 Figure 22

 apply a bead of glue about 1” 

inside the bottom of the body tube.  

NOTE:

 If you get 

some glue on the Kevlar® Cord, don’t worry, that is fine.  
Once the glue is in place, 

QUICKLY

 push the Engine 

Mount all the way into the Body Tube until the two tubes 
are flush (even) with each other, as shown. 

ADULTS

 may wish to help with this step.

23. 

Make a mark on the body tube, on the Launch Lug Line,  
3” from the bottom of the tube as shown in

 Figure 23

 

 

Figure 23 

 

24. 

Referring to 

Figure 24,

 glue your Launch Lug in place as 

shown

.  (

Thing-a-ma-FACT:

 The 

Launch Lug

 is used to guide 

the model along its first three feet of flight.  This lug slides over a 
three foot long “Launch Rod” (thin steal rod) that is on the launch 
pad.)
