STEP 1:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEINNING AND MAKE SURE ALL PARTS ARE COMPLETE.
ALWAYS DRY FIT THE PARTS BEFORE GLUING.
STEP 2:
MAKE 2 MARKS ON ENGINE TUBE. ONE MARK AT 1/4 INCH FROM THE END AND ONE AT 2 1/4 INCHS FROM THE OTHER END OF THE TUBE. THEN CUT A 1/8" SLIT AT THE 1/4 INCH MARK.
CUT A 1/4" SLOT ON THE INSIDE OF BOTH CENTERINGS RING JUST BIG ENOUGH FOR THE HOOK. (See picture)
PUT A RING OF GLUE AROUND THE TUBE AT THE 1/4 MARK.
* (Make sure to place the slot in the ring over the hook)
PUSH A RING PAST THE LINE, THROUGH THE GLUE AND OVER THE HOOK, STOP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LINE. (See picture)
PUT A RING OF GLUE AROUND THE OTHER LINE AND PUSH THE RING UP TO THE LINE, THROUGH THE GLUE AND STOP AT THE LINE
PUT A RING OF GLUE AROUND THE INSIDE OF THE MOTOR TUBE AT THE 1/4 INCH MARK END, PUSH THE SMALL RING IN UNTIL IT STOPS AT THE HOOK.
PUT ANOTHER RING OF GLUE AROUND BOTH EDGES OF BOTH RINGS. TRY NOT TO GET GLUE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RINGS.
.... SET ASIDE AND LET DRY
Yours should look like this
STEP 3:
CUT OUT THE TUBE MARKING GUIDE AND WRAP IT AROUND THE BODY TUBE AND TAPE IT IN PLACE. WRAP IT SO THAT THE TABS ON THE ENDS MATCH LINES.
MAKE LITE PENCIL MARKS AT EACH LINE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE GUIDE.
4 LINES FOR THE FINS AND 1 LINE FOR THE LAUNCH LUG. MARK THE LAUNCH LUG LINE WITH AN L
NOW EXTEND EACH LINE WITH A DOOR FRAME OR T-TOOL OR THE EDGE OF A DRAWER OR THICK BOOK, ANYTHING TO MAKE A STRIGHT LINE.
THE FIN LINES EXTEND 2 INCHES AND THE LUG LAUNCH LINE THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE TUBE.
