23. Mark the midpoint of the coupler (2" or 50 mm from

either end). Glue the bulkhead into the coupler with the

loop facing out 1/8" (3 mm) inside the coupler tube to

leave space for fillets.

24. Add fillets to both sides of the bulkhead by running a

bead of wood glue along the joint and forming the fillet

using either a finger or a dowel (particularly for the inter-

nal fillet). Allow the fillets to dry.

25. Apply glue to the interior of the second (unmarked)

body tube. The final bead should be 1" (25 mm) wide.

Install the coupler by rotating it as it is inserted and stop

at the previously marked half-way point.

26. Wrap the shoulder of the nose cone with masking tape

to achieve a tight fit so that the nose cone cannot fall out

during flight. Then install the nose cone in the tube.

Installing the Recovery System

27. Tie 4" (100mm) loops in both ends of the long piece of

kevlar shock cord and wrap the tails with tape (or apply

glue directly to the knots).

28. Pass one end of the shock cord through the loop

installed in the forward section bulkhead. Then pass one

loop in the shock cord through the other. Pull the shock

cord to tighten the slip knot. The loose end is tied to the

installed removable mount later.

29. Cut out the parachute using scissors or a hobby knife.

The parachute provided can be cut at either 32" or 24"

diameter. The smaller 24" size is sufficient for safe recov-

ery and will minimize drifting, so cut the parachute to that

size. Place one reinforcement ring on each of the para-

chute's corners and – using a sharp knife or pencil – poke

a hole in the plastic in the center of each ring.
