Post-Printing

Assembly

Glue the coupler and nose sections together with CA glue or similar. Tie one end of the Kevlar thread to the mount on the bottom of the coupler and tie the other end to the mount inside the body tube. Tie the streamer to the shock cord about 6 inches behind the nose cone. Glue the nozzle and retainer sections together with CA glue or similar.

Flying

The rocket has been test flown on an Estes A3-4T.

Place the motor into the retainer, and thread it into the base of the rocket until snug. Place 1 sheet of loosely packed recovery wadding into the body tube, followed by the folded streamer and nose cone. The rocket is now ready to fly!
