Step 1 –
Tie the yellow kevlar to the pre-
grooved thrust ring with a double knot. Make
sure the kevlar is tight in the groove and pull
the knot to the end of the thrust ring.
Step 2 –
Thread the end of the yellow
kevlar shock cord through the pre-marked
pod mount end of the body tube. Using a Q-
tip or the tip of your small finger, spread glue
around the inside of the body tube about 2”
from the end of the side that the shock cord
was inserted from.
Step 3 –
Using the yellow motor spacer
tube with the marked end outside, push the
thrust ring and yellow kevlar thread into the
tube until the motor spacer tube sticks out at
the ¼” mark from the end of the body tube.
Remove the motor spacer tube immediately
and set the body tube aside to dry for a few
minutes.
Assembling the Rocket Pod
Step 1 –
With the chamfers facing up and
in the same directions apply a thin layer of
glue to the both sides of the pod mount and
glider hooks and press together so that the
ends are flat and flush while on a flat table
surface. Leave on a flat surface to dry.
Step 2 –
After the pod mount assembly has
dried apply a thin line of glue to the bottom of
the pod mount assembly and to pre-marked
location on the body tube. Press the assembly
firmly down on the body tube and use the
pre-marked lines to locate the assembly. Set
aside to dry.
