A rocket is a marvel for everyone to experience! If you wish to contribute, visit my "Cults3d" profile at https://cults3d.com/en/users/Trystan for details.\n*More pictures coming soon!\nTo create this rocket, also obtain the following materials: \n1x 18" Nylon Parachute from allrocketengines.ca under Parachutes/Nylon-Red-18\n1x 24mm Motor Holder from allrocketengines.ca under Motor-Mounts/BT-55-24\n1x Elastic Shock Cord from allrocketengines.ca under Shock-Cords/Ribbon\n1x Wadding Paper Pack from allrocketengines.ca under Accessories/EstesWading\nSome D12-5 or D12-3 Rocket Engines from allrocketengines.ca at D/D12-5 and D/D12-3\nOptional Materials: \nLaunch Pad WITH Maxi Rods at https://www.allrocketengines.ca/Launch-Equipment/Pads/Porta-Pad?cPath=19_150 and https://www.allrocketengines.ca/Launch-Equipment/Rods/316\nRemote Ignition System at https://www.allrocketengines.ca/Launch-Equipment/Controllers/Electron-Beam?cPath=19_149 Instructions:\nBUILD INSTRUCTIONS: \nStep 1: Print all required parts (Nose cone, Body, Fin section)\n(The guiding holes are optional, but highly recommended. Also the writing may require supports.)\nStep 2: Glue body to fin section with epoxy\nStep 3: Glue engine mount into fin section, make sure metal retainer is not glued down.\n(A rocket engine can be inserted in the mount during drying process to prevent this)\nStep 4: Cut a 1.5' section of elastic shock cord and glue it to inside of nose cone and body.\n(Make sure that it is glued so the nose cone and body can be joined)\nStep 5 (Optional): If the elastic shock cord snapped on your first launch, repeat step 4 for extra strength.\nStep 6: Tie all strands of parachute in a "Girth Hitch" around mid-point of elastic shock cord. \n(File includes 7, but only two are necessary)\nStep 7: Glue guiding holes into the gap between two fins,\none 1/2 down from top of body and one above bottom of fin section.\nStep 8: That's it for assembly!\nPrelaunch setup:\nStep 1: Insert three sheets of wadding paper into the body. \nStep 2: Fold nylon parachute tightly and insert into body. \nStep 3: Take all loose strands of parachute or elastic and also insert into the body.\nStep 4: Close the body by joining the nose cone to it. (It is normal for nose cone to be loose.)\nStep 5: Insert engine into mount. \nStep 6: Insert small igniter in divot on bottom of engine and then also insert white plug into divot.\nStep 7: Place guiding holes of rocket into guiding rod of launch pad. \nStep 8: Connect clips of remote launch system and back up a safe distance.\nStep 9: Launch!
