I'm working on my first HP rocket. The Formula 75 and I have completed it all... except for mounting the launch buttons.
The way that I want to do it is use some JB weld onto the bottom of the buttons (#10) and let it set/cure and I'm off.
However, I can't seem to get the buttons straight to save my life. I'm absolutely terrified to mess this part up.
I don't want to drill holes and get the measurements wrong then have to re drill and patch holes.
How do you get yours perfectly lined up?
I don't have access to a HP guide rod, so that's a problem.
The 29th of October is my level 1 cert flight, so I have a little time.
I don't have access to special tools. I was hoping a tape measure and a pencil would do.
Any suggestions for how to get them lined up and then mounted so I don't have to worry about anything?
Thanks much!
