www.ApogeeRocke... - If you've never built a rocket from a set of plans, this series is for you. In this series you'll see the step-by-step process of constructing a rocket from a set of plans. During this journey, we'll talk about the critical steps that could affect the performance of the rocket, so you'll know whether or not it is safe to make modifications to the design. In a normal rocket kit that you might buy from a manufacturer, a lot of the critical choices are made for you, so you don't normally have to consider them. But when building from plans, you have to have a little bit more rocketry knowledge, and you'll need to have some higher building skills. In this series, you'll get all the important aspects explained to you so you'll have the confidence when building on your own.
In this first video of the series, we'll be cutting out of the fins from the balsawood sheet. You'll see how to transfer the paper templates to the wood, and how to use a hobby knife to cut them out. The fins on this particular kit are assembled from two pieces of wood, so you'll see how to properly join them together.
If you'd like to follow along and build this particular rocket plan too, we'll be happy to send you the plans. The complete set of 25 different rocket plans are found in the Peak-of-Flight Plan Pack. It is our free gift when you subscribe to our newsletter. If you already haven't downloaded the Plan Pack, you will find it here: www.apogeerockets.com/Rocket-Books-Videos/Pamphlets-Reports/Peak-of-Flight-Newsletter-Plan-Booklet-PDF . You will be asked to checkout to download, but it is totally free for you.
If you'd like decals for the rockets in the plan pack, we do have them available here: www.apogeerockets.com/Rocket-Kits/Rocket-Plans/Newsletter-Plans-Decal-Set
