I decided it was time to risk my life and mess with a live rocket...
I read the instructions provided several times before I took the rocket out of the protective cage and inventoried what I needed. It was pretty simple to put together actually, you just need to install the firing pins and the trigger, and attach the cable that pulls the chute. However, installing the rocket into the canister proved to be quite difficult. The cable rings at the bottom protrude enough that it's hard to fit it in the white canister, so had to squeeze them a bit. However, when the trigger reached the bottom, the hole didn't align with it since the cables were 'pushing' the rocket to one side of the canister. I'm not going to try to force it in it's current state since it's a bit awkward to get to. I thought I was saving myself time by mounting the canister to the aircraft, but really it's just not enough clearance to work with. I'll be unmounting the canister and reattempting assembly on the table. Comments are closed.
