13599 38mm Fly-Away Laser-Cut Sheet (1)

24001 Orthodontic Rubber Band

The Fly-Away Rail Guide is used to eliminate

rail buttons on your rocket yet allow the rocket

to be launched from a rail launch pad. With

the guide, the rocket can fly straighter and

higher. They work by capturing the rocket

while on the rail

and then release

as the rocket

leaves the pad.

5. Rotate the cradles

around the rocket so the

fingers are between any

two fins. Slide the cradle

rearward until it butts

against the leading edge

of the fins.

6. Insert the fingers of the

cradles into the launch

rail and slide the assem-

bly to the bottom of the

pad. Enjoy the launch, but remember

to collect the cradles from the

ground after they fall away.

Assembly and Use:

1. Carefully free the pieces from the laser-cut sheet using a hobby

knife.

2. Test fit the parts first; they are

a tight fit to prevent wobbling. The

cross piece that is inserted into the

rectangular slot needs to be the

first piece attached. Then attach the

other cross-brace into the notches

shown with the arrows. Take the

cradle apart and glue it back to-

gether using wood glue. Complete

the other identical cradle. Allow the

glue to dry and then paint cradles

a bright color so you can find them

easily after a launch.

3. When ready for launch, place two cradles around the rocket as

shown. If the rocket has a

lot of paint, you may need

(3)

to sand the inside curved

edges of the cradles. The fit

should be loose so they de-

tach easily but not sloppy.

4. Attach a rubber band

onto the hooks on each end

of the cradles.
