All the parts -
Two lengths of shock cord
Two pats of nose weight clay
18mm Engine Retainer
12" pre-assembled parachute
Notice the white BT-20 engine tube slides over the brown "BT-19" tube like a long coupler. The BT-19 ends up inside the nose of the plastic shroud.
The parts of interest:
The large blow molded conical shroud (nose) section.
As mentioned above, the engine mount tube and slightly smaller diameter brown tube.
This answers a question that probably many folks have had about the "lifting body" part. (Hrm... come to think of it, I vaguely recall this might've been mentioned during one of those podcasts from while back where we got a "sneak peek" at some yet-to-be-announced products)
ReplyDeleteThe question is, what's the best glue for the blow mold and cardboard tubes...
ReplyDeleteHi rklapp,
DeleteI used medium Super Glue (CA) as directed in the instructions.
I use Beacon Fabri-Tac for many plastic to Kraft tube joints, like a plastic adapter in a body tube. Fabri-Tac glue has Acetone which breaks down the plastic a bit for a good bond.
