This step might should have been done differently, so if there is a rocket expert out there that would kindly set me strait, I would appreciate it. I tied the string attached to the tube in step 5 and the knotted together strings from the parachute in step 2 to the rubber band (shock cord) in step 4. I don't think this is the proper way, but that is how I did it. Make sure these knots are very secure as the ejection charge is quite powerful. Using super glue here is a good idea as well.

If you would like to paint the rocket than that will be the final step in Making the rocket.

I used a C6-5 engine, but i would recommend a C6-3 or C6-4 as to have less ejection delay. Insert this into rocket, making sure the glue ring is in place and working.

Follow instructions that come with engine on packing recovery wading.
