Notes: I built this model for club contest and left it unpainted (I used magic markers instead) for that reason.

I followed t' instructions except for t' followin' comments and suggestions:

Step 1. Ahoy! Added Keelhaul®©™ Cord t' engine mount, arrr, that reaches t' t' top o' t' body tube.

Step 2. Ya scallywag! Ya scallywag! Blimey! No Change.

Step 3. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! Used five-minute epoxy t' connect fin pieces. Begad! When dry, I filled cracks with Elmers Fill'n'Finish and sanded smooth.

Step 4. Blimey! I used t' Rocket Builders Markin' Guide EST-2227 t' mark t' fins.

Step 5. I weighted t' Keelhaul®©™ cord t' help it drop down t' tube.

Step 6. Avast! Blimey! I took me hobby knife and made a little hole every 1/8" along t' fin lines on t' body tube. Next I pressed five-minute epoxy into t' holes and t' fin root edge. Ahoy! This should make a nice epoxy rivet t' hold t' fins on. Ahoy! I used t' slot in t' markin' guide ruler t' hold t' fins square as they dried.

Step 7. Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! I used five-minute epoxy t' hold t' launch lug down.

Stepw 8 & 9. Avast, me proud beauty! Did nay use shock cord mount. Avast! Tied shock cord t' end o' Keelhaul®©™ cord (not t' Estes supplied one, shiver me timbers, but some elastic from a cloth store).

Step 10. Avast! I used Thick CA t' make t' fin and launch lug fillets. Begad! I used thin CA t' seal t' fins (Wear a mask, gloves and goggles!)

Step 11 & 12. Worked carefully on clear payload so nay t' get glue everywhere.

Paintin' - Used magic markers.

Finished-Model appearance - Tail section black, arrr, upper body red, payload coupler and nose left unpainted (white)

Flight - Flew perfectly, me bucko, would have had a chance placin' in t' Quadrathon contest, arrr, I entered it in, if t' snap swivel had nay came un-done - lettin' t' body separate from t' payload section. Found both pieces - no damage.
