The Fly-Away Rail Guide is used to eliminate

rail buttons on your rocket yet allow the rocket

to be launched from a rail launch pad. With

the guide, the rocket can y straighter and

higher. They work by capturing the rocket

while on the rail

and then release

as the rocket

leaves the pad.

Assembly and Use:

1. Carefully free the pieces from the laser-cut sheet using a hobby

knife.

2. Test t the parts rst; they are

a tight t to prevent wobbling. The

cross piece that is inserted into the

rectangular slot needs to be the

rst piece attached. Then attach the

other cross-brace into the notches

shown with the arrows. Take the

cradle apart and glue it back to-

gether using wood glue. Complete

the other identical cradle. Allow the

glue to dry and then paint cradles

a bright color so you can nd them

easily after a launch.

3. When ready for launch, place two cradles around the rocket as

shown. If the rocket has a

lot of paint, you may need

to sand the inside curved

edges of the cradles. The t

should be loose so they de-

tach easily but not sloppy.

4. Attach a rubber band

onto the hooks on each end

of the cradles.

5. Rotate the cradles

around the rocket so the

ngers are between any

two ns. Slide the cradle

rearward until it butts

against the leading edge

of the ns.

6. Insert the ngers of the

cradles into the launch

rail and slide the assem-

bly to the bottom of the

pad. Enjoy the launch, but remember

to collect the cradles from the

ground after they fall away.
