Locate the supplied Launch Lug tubing and
using a hobby knife cut the tubing in half. Determine
the Primary Fin Launch Lug location by noting
relationship to the Engine Hook. The lug should be
aligned on the same side as the Engine Hook. Apply a
light film of CA glue on one side of lug as shown. Align
lug to the lead edge of the Primary Fin and against the
Fin Bulkhead as shown in the cameo and press in place
until glue sets. Ensure lug remains parallel with the
Lower Main Body Tube.

r
Determine the Secondary Fin Launch Lug
location by noting how it is
NOT AGAINST
the Fin
Bulkhead but rather a distance away from it to remain
parallel with the Primary Fin Launch Lug. This is
required due to the difference in diameters between the
Lower and Upper Main Body Tubes. Use a proper
length straight edge (ruler) to maintain the parallel
relationship. Apply a light film of CA glue on one side as
in step #18. Align lug to the trailing edge of the
Secondary Fin as shown in the cameo and press in
place until glue sets. Ensure lug remains parallel with
the Primary Fin Launch Lug.

To create a parachute compartment first push
the Shock Cord forward out of the Engine Mount Tube
and through the Main Body Tube. Cut a Shock Cord V-
Notch into the outside edge of the supplied C-Ring
using a Hobby knife as shown below. Apply a bead of
Wood glue carefully to the inside wall of the Upper Main
Body Tube about 8 inches down tube as shown using a
cotton swap stick attached to a longer stick (i.e., a
dowel).
KEEP THE GLUE AWAY FROM THE SHOCK
CORD AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

Align the C-Ring to the Upper Main Body Tube
and the C-Ring V-Notch to the Shock Cord. Slide the C-
Ring into the tube and push it down the Upper Main
Body Tube until contacts with the glue bead. Apply
additional glue as needed. Set the rocket right side up
(on fins) and let glue dry throughly.
