INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

Attach the motor clip through the small slit in the motor tube. Apply wood glue around the inside edge of the motor tube as shown. Insert the red thrust ring into the motor tube and position it until seated against the motor clip.
Apply a bead of glue around the motor tube in the area where the clip goes through the tube. Push a centering ring over the motor tube and the clip as shown. Then apply another bead of glue around the rear end of the motor tube and slide on the remaining centering ring until it is about 15-18 mm from the rear end. To complete the motor mount assembly, add a fillet of glue from each side of both cen- tering rings and place aside to dry.
Slide motor mount assembly with motor hook facing out into the slotted body tube as pictured. Be sure that motor mount tube and body tube are flush and check that the motor hook is oriented between two of the slots of the body tube. The hook should not be directly beneath a slot, or else it will interfere when assembling the fins!
Glue the half-circular discs to the central column as pictured.
Then apply a bead of glue inside both ends of the tube coupler.
When inserting the baffle into the coupler, do a twisting motion of one rotation at the same time.
Tie a noose on one end of the Kevlar cord.
Attach the noose to the baffle with a cow hitch as pictured.
Now glue the completed baffle into the lower body tube as pictured, but leave half of it sticking out.
At this stage you can choose whether you want to leave the fin edges square, make them rounded, bevel them or even streamline them. Use a sanding block.
Apply some wood glue along the root edge and tab of each fin and stick them into the slots as pictured. Make sure each fin iS seated firmly and at the correct angle onto the body tube for proper adhesion. Repeat with each fin. Let the glue dry.
Glue the launch lug into the corner of one of the fins and body tube as shown
After all, glue has dried, apply a small bead of glue to all joints. Smooth the glue out with a wet fingertip. Wipe off the excess glue into the paper towel.
Tie a noose at both ends of the elastic shock cord.
Attach the elastic shock cord to the nose cone as pictured.
Glue the nose cone into the shorter body tube.
Tie the Kevlar cord and elastic cord together.
Sand, prime and paint model as suggested on packaging or according to personal preference. Mask the fins with some masking tape and newspaper to paint them in separate colors.

Apply stickers as shown on the picture. Smooth out air bubbles from center to edge.
