15. After all the glue has completely dried,
you may now paint your Apogee Aspire model
rocket. Sealing and sanding the balsa parts re-
duces drag (higher flights) and greatly improves
the rocket's appearance. Apply a coat of sanding
sealer to the fins with a paint brush. When the
sealer is dry, lightly sand the sealed surfaces.
Repeat the sealing and sanding procedure until
the balsa grain is filled and the fins look and feel
smooth.
16. Roll a piece of paper and insert it into
the aft end of the body tube so you can hold the
model while painting it. 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 mask and paint the
model to match the picture on the cover.
17. Cut around the perimeter of the decal
with a pair of scissors. Peel off the paper back-
ing, and affix the decal in place on the model.
Use the picture on page 1 for decal placement.
Installing rocket motors into the Apogee
Aspire Kit
The largest motor size (29 mm dia.) is simply
taped into the aft end of the rocket. Wrap tape
around the outside of the motor and the aft end
of the body tube as shown.
The smaller motors (24 mm dia.) are first taped
into the motor adapter. Then the adapter is in-
serted into the rocket – one of the CR24-29 rings
extends out of the tube. Tape is applied over the
rocket and the aft centering ring of the motor
adapter as shown in the illustration.
