ASSEMBLY
❑
3.
Twist the screw eye into the
center of the base of the nose cone.
Unscrew it and squirt glue into the
hole. Reinstall the screw eye and
wipe off any excess glue.
NOSECONE
❑
2.
Insert the nose cone into the
body tube and check for proper fit -
snug enough to stay in place but not
so tight it’s hard to remove. If it is too
loose, add masking tape. If it is too
tight, sand the shoulder slightly.
❑
5.
Apply glue to the tabs and at-
tach the tail section of the glider.
Make sure the entire assembly re-
mains flat on the table and weighted
down.
❑
6.
The uprights are attached next.
Glue the uprights in place as shown.
You may wish to use a triangle to
ensure they are attached at a 90 de-
gree angle.
WING
❑
4.
Take the two wings and lay
them on a flat surface covered in wax
paper. Apply glue to the tabs where
the wings join and then glue them
together. Hold in place with weights
or a copy of Rockets of the World
until dry.
