7. Sand off the little nubs of paper on the

ends of the tubes using medium grit sandpa-

per and a sanding block.

8. Slide the fin alignment fixture onto

one of the 4 inch (101mm) long body tubes.

Test one set of fins into the fixture. Position

the bottom edge of the fins on one edge of

the tube. When you know how the fins are

attached, you can remove them from the fin

alignment fixture and apply wood glue to the

root edge and then return them back into the

fin alignment fixture. Allow the glue time to

dry before removing the fin fixture. Repeat

this for all the fin shapes you plan on flight

testing. These sections are now called the

"fin-cans."

9. Add wood glue fillets to the fins where

they touch the body tube. Even out the glue

with your finger. Lay the fin-cans horizontally

to let the glue dry.

10. Locate the engine mount tube. The

aft end is the side closest to the etched lines

as shown. READ THE FOLLOWING PARA-

GRAPH FULLY! IT IS VERY CRITICAL.

Place a small amount of wood glue on the

tip of a Q-tip or a wood dowel. Smear the

glue around the inside perimeter of the tube,

at the cut-out made in the tube. Using a

rocket motor, push the blue ring into the tube

so that the front end of the ring is even with

the front of the cutout. IMPORTANT: Once

the ring is in place, there should be a slight

slot at the base of the blue ring and the cut-

out. This is for the engine hook.

11. Tie one end of the yellow shock cord

around the front end of the engine mount

tube. Locate the plywood ring with the small

notch. Slide the ring over the front end of the

tube, threading the shock cord through the

notch in the ring. Glue the ring to the front

end of the engine tube. Put a fillet of glue

around the perimeter to hold the ring and the

cord in place. Allow the glue to dry.

12. Locate the two red tube couplers.

Mark the approximate middle of the tube

with a pencil as shown.
