Assemble The Spek Rocket

1. Remove the parts for the fin alignment

fixture from the cardboard sheet. Dry as-

semble the parts as shown. Make sure the

tabs on the cross pieces protrude through

the side plates. Apply a bead of wood glue

over the tabs on both sides of the tool. Set

the piece aside to allow the glue to dry.

2. Separate the tubes. Sand off the little

nubs of paper on the ends of the tube using

medium grit sandpaper.

3. Glue one of the red paper tube cou-

plers into the base (as far as it can go) of

the nose cone using thick viscosity CyA glue

(also called super glue). Set it aside to allow

the glue to harden.

4. Taking the point of your hobby knife,

carefully drill a small hole into the base of

the shoulder on the vacuum form plastic

transition. The hole only needs to be slightly

larger than the diameter of the yellow shock

cord.

OPTIONAL: For small altimeters, you will

connect the nose cone directly to the transi-

tion (see "Prepping for Launch" on page 5).

But if you're using the PerfectFlite FireFly

altimeter, you'll need to use the payload

tube. Perform the following two steps to add

the payload tube.

5. Glue the remaining red paper tube

coupler into the front of the plastic transition

as far as it will go using thick viscosity CyA

glue. Set it aside to allow the glue to harden.

6. Using wood glue, attach the payload

tube (the one with the three small holes in it)

onto the red coupler at the base of the plas-

tic nose cone. Optional: You can tape the

nose on instead of gluing it, so the payload

tube can be removed if you use a smaller

altimeter than the FireFly.
