24. Fold the parachute and insert it into

the rocket along with the shock cord. Tem-

porarily place one of the assembled fin-cans

over the engine mount and exposed end of

the tube coupler. DO NOT GLUE!

25. Roll a piece of paper and insert it

into the back of the rocket to hold the model

while you paint it. Similarly, roll a sheet of

paper and insert it into the back of each fin

can so you hold them while you paint them.

For best results, paint the model with primer

before using the final paint colors. Follow the

directions on the paint can, and always paint

outdoors with the wind against your back.

Let the paint harden at least 24 hours before

proceeding. You may paint the model your

favorite color.

Allow the paint time to dry and install the

sticker decals as desired.

26. Remove the display stand parts from

the laser-cut sheet. Glue them together

using wood glue as shown. Allow the glue

time to dry. You can place your rocket on the

display stand for everyone to gaze at when

you are not launching it.

Congratulations! Your Fin Shape Science

Experiment rocket is now complete.

Launch Supplies Needed

To launch your rocket you will need the

following supplies:

• A model rocket launching system

• Flame resistant recovery wadding

• Altimeter to measure the height of the

rocket

• Data sheet to record the results of your

project.

• Recommended Rocket Engines: B6-4,

or C6-5

Rocket Preflight

A. Tie a string from the altimeter (NOT

INCLUDED) to the loop on the nose cone.

This is recommended in case the nose

comes off during flight. Remember to turn

on the altimeter and make sure it is ready to

launch.

B. Wrap a single layer of tape each

around the perimeter of the rocket over both

the nose cone joint, and the fin can joint.

This is what holds them on during flight, and

allows the fin cans can be swapped between

launches.
