If you are new to model rocket then this page gives a few hints and tips on how to construct a model rocket .

Dry Fit & Prepare

It is important  to test fit (dry) all parts of the rocket, any areas that need sanding to give a good fit should be sanded with a fine wet and dry paper ( Wet and Dry leaves less scratches than the equivalent sand paper ). All areas of the rocket that are to form part of a joint should be rubbed down with fine wet and dry to ensure a clean grease free surface to which the glue can hold ( Don't forget to clean with a clean dry soft cloth to remove any dust from sanding).

Body Tube

Fin Joints

Fins on model rockets in general are joined to the outside of the body tube with a butt joint, with a few you will mount the fins through the body tube onto the motor mount, so the fins have a but joint to the motor mount tube and are also joined with a fillet of white glue to the outside of the body tube.

Finishing
