1Step 1
Take the printed motor cage and ensure a snug fit with the 24" tube. If it's loose add some tape to the tab, if tight sand it down some.
-
2Step 2
Once you've got the fit up to par, tape or glue the cage in place. I chose aluminum tape. It looks cool and can smooth over issues.

3Step 3
Now it's time to test fit the fins. If all is well glue them into place using CA. Ensure they're all facing the same direction; they have an asymmetrical airfoil to initiate a spin. This is for stability.

4Step 4
Install the bottom of the nose cone next. Sand or add tape to adjust the fit and glue in place with 1" extending from the 7.5" tube.
-
5Step 5
Finally install the nose cone. You can apply packing tape to the tube before taping the cone on to allow for a cargo bay. If not, gluing it is acceptable.

6Step 6
Finally, install chute and shock chord. I'm doing this using the normal mounting techniques. I'm working on printing parts for this assembly and a chute cutting guide currently, but for now scour the internet for guidance.
