18. Glue the coupler with the screw eye

into the 3 inch payload tube (the one with

the small holes in the middle. It is positioned

so it sticks out half way as shown.

19. Pass the yellow shock cord out the

rear of the engine mount tube so it stays

out of the way. Glue the red tube coupler at-

tached to the front end of the engine mount

into one end of the tube with the launch

lugs. The edge of the tube should be even

with the half-length line you drew in pencil

on the coupler. Wipe off any excess glue

that gets on the surface of the red coupler.

When the glue is dry, pass the yellow shock

cord back through the tube so it comes out

the front end.

20. Tie the free end of the yellow shock

cord to the eyelet on the base of the payload

tube as shown. Put a dab of glue on the knot

to prevent it from coming untied. Temporarily

place the nose cone on the front end of the

payload tube.

21. Place one reinforcement ring on each

of the corners of the parachute canopy.

Take a sharp pencil or knife and poke a hole

through the plastic in the center of each ring.

22. Cut the shroud lines to make a total

of three lines of equal length. Then pull each

parachute line end through a parachute re-

inforcement ring and tie using two overhand

knots. Repeat for all the corners as shown.

23. Holding the parachute at the center

of its top, pull the lines together to even

up the ends. Thread the three looped lines

through the eye on the base of the payload

tube. Next, take the top of the parachute

and pull it through all three string loops at

the same time. Finally, pull on the strings to

tighten the knot. This securely attaches the

parachute to the rocket.
