29. Cut out the marking guide for the para-
chute tube and wrap it around the tube. Mark the
tube at each arrow point. Remove the guide and
draw a line down the whole body tube with a
straight edge. Glue the long launch lug (LL-2E) on
the mark you made making sure that one end of the
launch lug is even with the (top) end of the tube.
30. Pass one end of the Kevlar® thread
through the small hole in the Cap Ring (11) and tie
it securely to the closest Hinge Support Dowel. Put
a drop of glue on the knot. Pass the free end into
the engine mount tube to keep it out of the way.
31. After the glue is dry on the launch lug,
slide the descent stage aft bulkhead assembly onto
the rear of the engine mount tube. Center the bulk-
head notch over the engine hook and slid it all the
way to the centering ring. DO NOT GLUE YET, hold
in place. Pass the launch lug through the furthest
hole in the bulkhead as shown. Slide the engine
mount ring assembly into the parachute tube until
the bottom ring is 1/16” inside the tube. Glue the
parachute tube into place.
28. Slide the descent stage bulkhead into the
end of one of the internal body rings and glue into
place by running a fillet on the inside.
NOTE
When the landing gears are put onto the engine
tube they should look like the drawing below.
