8.
Attach the Wing Tips (3)
to the ends of the wings. You
can make sure that these are
perpendicular to the wings by
using one of the square cor-
ners of the fin alignment
guides to check for square-
ness. Make sure the wing tips
are glued on the same side as
the launch lug.
❑
10.
Find the 4 Scramjet
Tubes (I) and glue them
together in sets of two with
the ends even and the tubes
parallel. While these are
drying find the parts for the
surrounding boxes, parts
(8), (9) and (10) on the Fin
Sheet. Glue part (9) to part
(8) with the tab located in
the slot in the middle of part
(8) as shown and parts (10)
to the sides of part (8) as
shown. Make sure all parts
are perpendicular as they
dry. Glue Scramjet Tubes (I)
in opening behind part (8)
and then glue the assembly
to the wing locating the
tabs in the appropriate
slots. Make sure all parts
are fully seated against
wing. Repeat for other
wing. Set aside to dry.
❑
9.
Attach the Ventral Fins (7)
to the rear of the body tube
flush with end of the body tube.
These also attach on the same
side as the Launch Lug. Use the
smaller fin locating guide to
position these fins. Use the out-
er slots on this jig for these fins.
BUILD SCRAMJETS
UPPER WING DETAILS
❑
11.
Locate the Wing
Fences (14) on the Fin Sheet
and glue them to the upper
side of the wings. They are
positioned in the slots di-
rectly above the Scramjet
boxes, one on each wing.
❑
12.
Locate the Rudders
(4) on the Fin Sheet and
glue them to the upper side
of the wings. They are posi-
tioned in the slots towards
the end of the wings, again,
one on each wing.
❑
13
Locate the Glider
Supports (6) on the Fin
Sheet. Make a mark on the
top of the body tube 1 3/16”
from the rear of the body
tube. This will be the rear of
the Glider Supports. Using
the center two slots on the
smaller Fin Positioning
Guide, glue the Glider Sup-
ports to the top of the Body
Tube.
GLIDER SUPPORTS
❑
14.
Locate one of the
Glider Hooks (F). Make a
mark on the top of the body
tube 3 5/16” from the front
of the body tube. This will
be the front of the Glider
Hook. Glue the Glider Hook
to the top of the Body Tube.
Make sure the Hook is cen-
tered between the Glider
Supports and that the saw-
tooth edges are facing the
front of the rocket.
GLIDER ASSEMBLY
❑
15.
Lay the Glider Body
Tube (D) on a flat surface.
Place a sheet of wax paper
over it to prevent glue from
sticking while the wings
dry. Place a bead of glue on
the root edge of one of the
Glider Wings (11) and at-
tach it to the other wing. As
the glue joint starts to set,
drape the assembly over
the body tube and wax pa-
per and let the wing tips
rest on the surface to form
the wing dihedral. Let dry.
❑
16.
Once the wing as-
sembly has dried, take the
Glider Body Tube (D) and
using the Fin Alignment Jig,
mark the Glider Body Tube
for Wing and Rudder place-
ment. Place the Glider Body
Tube in the hole in the Fin
alignment Jig and make a
mark on the tube at the
hash marks that are across
from each other. Extend
these marks the length of
the tube using a door jamb
or angle.
❑
17
.
Glue the wing as-
sembly to the Glider Body
Tube keeping the rear edge
of the wings even with one
end of the body tube, and
the root edges of the wings
centered over one of the
lines that were drawn on
the body tube. Make sure
the wing tips remain on the
surface to keep the correct
wing angle.
❑
18.
Glue the Glider
Rudder (13) to the top of the
body tube on the other line
you previously marked on
the body tube. Keep the
Rudder even with the same
end of the body tube as the
wings, and lined up with the
joint of the wings on the
bottom of the body tube.
Add glue fillets to all joints.
❑
19.
Glue the Glider
Elevons (12) to the outer
rear edges of the wings.
Use the large Fin Alignment
Guide to set the angle of the
Elevons.
