1.
Find the motor tube
and place a mark 1/4’” from
one end of the tube and
1/8” from the opposite end.
Tie a double overhand knot
in the Kevlar shock cord
near one end. See picture at
right to see how to tie the
knot. Trim excess cord off
close to the knot. Put some
glue in the end of the motor
tube marked at 1/8” to hold
the motor thrust block. In-
sert the end of the Kevlar
shock cord with the knot
into the motor tube. Trap
the shock cord between the
thrust block and motor
tube. Push the thrust block
in until it is flush with the
motor tube. Pull Shock cord
until the knot is seated
against the motor block.
Install the two centering
rings onto the motor tube
and glue them at the marks
that were made on the tube.
Set aside to dry.

Cut the piece of supplied
Streamer material in half
lengthwise. Attach one of these
pieces to the shock cord near
the nose cone with a piece of
Masking Tape as shown. Put
the shock cord, and streamer
into the body tube and put the nose cone in the end of
the body tube to make it easier to handle the complet-
ed body tube before proceeding to the next step.

6.
Set up all 3 Fin Alignment Jigs so that they will
stand up by themselves. Lay the body tube assembly in
the cradle with 2 of the jigs near the end with the motor
mount tube. Attach the Wing and Wing Fairings to both
sides of the body tube by resting them on the alignment
jigs, keeping them even with the end of the body tube.
The forward Canard Fins (5) can be installed the same
way with the front point of the Canard being 1 3/4” back
from the front end of the body tube. Set aside to dry.
❑
2.
Using the Fin Sheet
diagram, locate the Wing (1)
and the Wing Fairing (2).
Carefully remove them from
the sheet and glue them
together on a piece of wax
paper. Keep them flat while
they dry. Do this for both
wings.
❑
4.
Take the toothpick and
push it approximately 1/4 of
the way into the rear end of
the Nose Cone. Make a mark
on the toothpick and then
remove it. Fill the hole with
glue and insert the free end
of the shock cord. Cut the
toothpick at the mark you
made and insert it back into
the hole to hold the shock
cord in place before the glue
dries.

Glue the Motor Mount
Tube into the Main Body
Tube (A). Be sure to put the
shock cord through the body
tube before inserting the
motor mount tube. Use the
notch in the Fin Alignment
Tool to set the correct depth
of the motor tube as shown.

After the wings have dried, find the launch Lug
(O), and put it in two of the Fin Alignment Jigs. Keep
the Jigs at the ends of the Launch Lug. Mark the Main
Body Tube (A) 1 3/4” from the rear end of the tube, (end
with the wings/motor tube). Using Medium Viscosity
Super Glue, attach the lug to the body tube, keeping the
rear of the launch lug even with the mark on the tube
and the jigs flat on the wings/wing fairings . Once dry,
remove jigs and apply glue fillets to wings/wing fair-
ings, and launch lug. Set aside to dry.
