Prodigious Paper Rockets!

Step 6Rocket Fins...

Rocket Fins...
1. Begin to attach your fins. Take your time. Do them one at a time and let them set before adding another. The most common fin placements have 3 or 4 fins. (Two fins will not provide stability on each axis)

2. What you end up with is a paper rocket ready to be finished. You can paint it, use markers or crayons on it, or just leave as it is.

3. It is suggested that once the fins have dried that you spread another bead of white glue along the seams to reinforce them. These rockets go from a static display to top velocity in the blink of an eye and if the fins are not attached well, they will tear off.

Good Luck and Happy Launching...
