Rocket Preflight
A. Crumple and insert one-half of a sheet
of recovery wadding into the body tube.
B. Fold that parachute and insert it into
the tube with the shock cord. Then insert the
plastic transition section onto the tube.
C. Tie a string from the loop inside the
transition to the altimeter for extra security in
case the rocket comes down in two separate
pieces. Turn on the altimeter and insert it
into the rear of the payload tube (closest to
the vent holes), and then insert the shoulder
of the transition too. Place the NAR payload
into the forward end of the payload bay, and
then insert the nose on top.
D. Wrap tape around the perimeter over
the two ends of the payload tube as shown.
Make sure not to cover the vent holes for the
altimeter.
E. If flying the sustainer alone as a single
stage, it is preferable to hold the engine in
the tube by wrapping tape about the portion
of the motor that extends out the rear of the
tube as shown.
F. If you're flying the Midge as a two-
stage rocket, the motor in the top stage is
friction fitted into the tube.
G. For the booster stage the motor is
inserted so the motor extends out the back
3/8" (0.9 cm) and then held in place by wrap-
ping tape around the perimeter of the motor
and the tube.
