Insert the Blue Thrust Ring into the Yellow Motor
Mount Tube so it is even with the end of the Yellow
Motor Mount Tube.
STEP 3

Apply a bead of white glue around the Yellow
Motor Mount Tube on the inside of the pencil mark
made in Step 1, one half inch from the end as shown.
B.
Slide the Red Ring into the bead of glue and up
to the pencil mark. The edge of the Red Ring must be
1/2” from end of the Yellow Motor Mount Tube. Wipe
away any excess glue.
STEP 4
A.
Tie two overhand knots 1 inch in from the end of
the Kevlar Cord.
B.
Pass the end of the Kevlar with the knot through
the remaining Red Centering Ring.
C.
Slide the Red Centering Ring with the Kevlar under
it onto the Yellow Motor Mount Tube.
STEP 5
A.
Apply a bead of white glue around the Yellow Motor
Mount Tube on the inside of the pencil mark made in

B.
Slide the Red Ring into the bead of glue until the pencil
mark is exposed. If the Red Ring is tight, stretch it as in step 2
above. The edge of the Red Ring must be 1/2” from end of
the Yellow Motor Mount Tube. Wipe away any excess glue.

Gently pull on both cords to set the knot and prevent it from slipping.
C.
Apply a small amount of white glue on the ends of both cords to prevent them from fraying.
NOTE: THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT STEP. IF YOU TIE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF KNOT THE SHOCK CORDS MAY SEPARATE DURING FLIGHT.
STEP 9
A
. Hold the Motor Mount Assembly and the Body
Tube in one hand.
B
. Apply White Glue around the inside of the Body
Tube just beyond the Fin Slits.
C.
Allign the Motor Mount Assembly so the Motor Clip
is centered between two of the Fin Slits.
D. Immediately insert the Motor Mount Assembly and
PUSH IT INTO THE BODY TUBE WITH ONE FAST &
SMOOTH MOTION until the Yellow Motor Mount Tube
is even with the end of the Body Tube.
STEP 8
A.
Stretch the end of the Body Tube that has the Fin Slits
in it slightly by inserting the nose cone into the tube and
gently twisting it back and forth a few times.
B.
Hold the Body Tube with the stretched end facing up
and “feed” the shock cord into the tube until the cord
comes out the other end.
C.
Grab the end of the shock cord and pull it all the way
through the tube until the Motor Mount assembly that is
attached to the other end pulls up against the tube.
