1/4” screw. Make sure you hold the nose
cone with the tip pointing up while the
epoxy cures so all the weight will be in the
shoulder of the nose cone. IMPORTANT:
the epoxy will not stick to the inside of the
nose cone and if you attempt to epoxy the
weight to the tip of the nose cone, the liftoff
force may cause the weight to become
dislodged causing an unstable model.
When you are satisfied with the balance
of your model, attach the nose cone to the
forward section of the forward body tube
using epoxy.
When packing your chute, wrap the chute
protector around the chute with the opening
in the chute protector facing forward.
Always make sure your chute is well
protected as the hot ejection motor gasses
will melt the nylon chute.
NOTE: drill a small 1/8” hole in the
chute compartment to allow venting.
IMPORTANT: always use positive motor
retention to secure the motor.Failure to
use motor retention will cause the motor
to be ejected instead of the parachute
making for a dangerous ballistic reentry.
IMPORTANT: always remember to check
your balance point and ensure your CG
is ahead of the specified CG point.
At this point your model is ready to fly.
Always follow the NAR safety code and
remember that rockets are not toys and
can be dangerous if not prepared and
used properly. If you are a beginner, it is a
good idea to fly with a club or other group
of experienced rocketeers until you have
gained some experience.
Now go have some fun!
