Catapult Assembly

 

Locate  the  hardwood  dowel  and  the 24  in. x  1/8  in.  rubber  strip. These components  are assembled to 
create the catapult launcher. Please see the 

Catapult Assembly 

detail drawing on the plan set.

1.

Loop  the  elastic  rubber  strip  in  half,  tie an  overhand  knot  in  the  end  within  two  inches, 
where the loose ends meet. Pull the knot snug, working the knot within one-half inch of the 
ends.

2.

Place the dowel on top of the rubber loop within two inches of the knot. 

3.

Wrap  the loop  end of the elastic  around the dowel  and feed through  the opening between 
the  dowel  and the knotted end of  the  rubber  strip and  pull  snug. Ensure that  the knot is 
located against the dowel. 

Optional: 

 If desired, sand the model to remove the laser burn from the model.  You may also paint the 

model with clear-lacquer to protect it from moisture, or spray a little color on the model to make it uniquely 
yours. 

Please continue to the 

Setup

 and 

First Flight

 instructions to prepare the competed model for flight.
