It doesn't have to be perfect, but the worse it is the more friction the rocket will encounter coming out of the tube, thus shortening the flight. Then heft it onto your shoulder and see if you can lift it, which you should be able to with no difficulty. Now what you do is take your Model Rocket Ignition System, and duct tape it to the top of your pipe, where it is in easy reach. Don't glue it on because if you need to change the batteries in the thing you'll have quite a problem on your hands. If you're okay with electronics you can use a doorbell instead of a Rocket Ignition System, and that way you won't have to have the little safety key and all. Then tape the wires onto the pipe going back to the tail end and cut them off so they're not dangling around. They should be able to fit about a foot inside the tube... Ignition sys two wires --\ | ______________ <----/ ________ooo/_____________ \ | ___|_/ front |_______________________| back | pipe| The Rocket ~~~ ~~~~~~ Now for the rocket. Just follow the instructs for a normal model rocket, except don't make the recovery system, and don't make the fins. Also be sure to glue in the nose cone. After you're done with that, measure how big the fins can be and still have the rocket fit in the launch tube, and cut them out all the same size from the poster board (12 of 'em, there's gonna be six fins). Now when you have them all put 2 together side by side and glue them so that they are twice as strong as normal. Do this six times, so now you have six fins, three in the front, and three in the back. Glue these to the body tube of the rocket so that they look like this: \ / ___/-\___ \-/ / \ front view (not a great pic), but when you look from the front you should see all six fins. Now measure this against the body tube and slice off the tips of any fins until they all slide easily through the launcher. The Blast Plate ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Take your two pieces of wood and make a notch in each like this: _________________ | _____ | |______| |______| each notch should be the width of the other piece of wood. Then put them together so they form an X, and slide them into the tube, they should be snug so that it's not easy to pull the thing out. Now take it back out and glue the sheet metal onto the X, so it forms a blast deflector: ___ | | wood->_|_|_ | / \ <-sheet metal _|_ / \ ___ |___| |___| \ / \_____/ | | |_| Launch ~~~~~~ Now take your Rocket and slide it in through the back of the tube, and insert your igniters into the engine and put it in the rocket so that it's sort of in the ball may rise and give you a few nasty burns.
