1 Nosecone
1 Shock Cord
Landing Gear pieces
1 Parachute
1 Launch Lug
1 Motor Mount
1 Long Body Tube
1 Centering Ring
2 Smaller tubes (J Tubes)
Connector tube
The first step was to sand the wooden pieces for them to be able to be glued down.
After that, I inserted the pieces together and used the white T shape to put it in place. I put that to the side and worked on the body of the rocket.
I marked half an inch on the connector tube to connect the small and the big tube together to form the body of the rocket.
To properly make sure I place the engine hook in the right place, I marked 3.5 inches from the bottom of the tube where I will cut and then insert the engine hook
This is the engine hook placed into the tube.
I then cut out this piece of paper from the instructions and drew the lines onto the rocket. This will allow me to accurately place the Launch Lug and the J tubes.
These are the J-tubs and the launch lung glued onto the body of the rocket.
I then glued the landing gear on top of the two tubes.
I then cut out a tab from the instructions and glued it to the shock chord to stick it inside the rocket. I attached the shock cord to the parachute and inserted everything into the tube.
I spray-painted my rocket yellow and left it out to dry. Somehow, the top of the tube got damaged and I could not insert the nose cone inside the body, so I could not launch my rocket.
Since I was not able to launch this rocket, this is my successful launch of my previous model rocket.
Before my tube was damaged I felt that the tube itself was very skinny and it was extremely hard to insert the parachute. So, if given more time, I would increase the tube size so the parachute could be easily inserted.
