I
applied 6oz fiber glass "cloth" to this
section of one of the body tubes. Notice the wax
paper on the work table so the fiberglass doesn't
stick:

It is kind
of difficult to see in this picture, however, I used
excessive epoxy left over from other applications
and applied it to the leading and trailing edges of
the "Quik Tubes" while I prepared the
tubes for construction. This maintains a true edge
on the body tube while moving them around the work
shop for constant fittings and preparation.

spent alot of time trying to align the large fins on
this rocket. Notice the level that I've connected to
the fin. Additionally, I measured from the fin to
the motor tube on each side to make sure the fin was
centered. It sure would of been nice to have a jig
at 120 degrees to properly mount these fins! |

Pictured
here is the first layer of fiberglass over the
"Quik Tubes." This tube is the bottom tube
and has a 6oz layer of fiberglass. I wil apply
another 6oz layer for further strength. |
