Step 12 - Screw and then glue the

screw-eye into the wooden bulkhead disk

using wood glue. Glue the assembly into

one end of the red tube coupler. The disk

should be just inside the end so that you can

put glue fillets on both sides of the disk. Al-

low the glue to dry.

Step 13 (Optional) - Using a hobby

knife, cut a series of v-notches into the front

end of the tube coupler from the previous

step. Because the edge will bend inward

and conform better to the inside of the nose

cone, this will make a stronger glue joint

when the coupler is installed into the nose

cone in the next step.

Step 14 - Place the clay nose weight

into the front of the plastic nose cone from

the V-2 kit. Glue the coupler tube into the

nose using thick super glue. Make sure the

coupler is straight inside the nose cone.

While the glue is still wet, you can place

the other end of the coupler onto the blow

mold rocket tube to ensure the alignment is

straight. Allow the glue time to harden.

Step 15 - Tie the shock cord to the

screw eye on the base of the nose cone.

Step 16 - Holding the parachute at the

center of its top, pull the lines together to

even up the ends. Thread the three looped

lines through the screw eye on the base of

nose cone. Take the apex of the parachute

and pull it through all three string loops at

the same time and then pull to tighten the

knot. This securely attaches the parachute

to the rocket.

Step 17 - Draw a line down the side of

the cylindrical portion of the blow molded

part of the rocket. This line should not be in

line with the fin lines on the bottom of the

tube, and should be straight along the cen-

terline of the rocket.

Glue the launch lug to the tube using

thick super glue. The location is not impor-

tant, as long as it is on the straight part, and

not the tapered portion of the rocket body.

At this point, you can complete and paint

the V-2/A4 rocket using the instruction sheet

from Spacemonkey Models.
