up the hole in the base of the nose cone so
that you can easily insert a long wood dowel
(1/4" diameter [6.3mm] will work fine). Roll all
the clay into a long snake and insert into the
nose cone. Press it firmly into the tip using the
wood dowl.
31. Test fit the nose cone onto the front
end of the rocket. You may need to apply 2 or
3 layers of masking tape to make the fit snug.
When applying the masking tape, leave a
slight gap between the edge of the nose por-
tion and the edge of the tape.
32. Tie the loose end of the shock cord to
the loop on the base of the nose cone using
two overhand knots. Apply a little bit of the
wood glue onto the knot to keep it from com-
ing untied.
Parachute Assembly
33. Carefully cut out the parachute canopy
along the dashed lines. Place one reinforce-
ment ring on each of the marked corners.
Take a sharp pencil or knife and poke a hole
through the plastic in the center of each ring.
34. Fold the shroud line in half, and cut at
the fold to make equal lengths; cut each piece
in half again to make a total of four lines of
equal length.
35. Pull each parachute line end through a
parachute reinforcement ring and tie using two
overhand knots. Repeat for all the corners as
shown.
36. Holding the parachute at the center of
its top, pull the lines together to even up the
ends. Thread the four looped lines through the
loop at the base of the nose cone. Take the
top of the parachute and pull it through all four
string loops at the same time and then pull to
tighten the knot. This securely attaches the
parachute to the rocket.
