Quest Totally Tubular

[the freshman]

My brother is building a Totally Tubular. The kit is very good quality, except that no fin (tube) marking guide is included. Did anyone else with a Totally Tubular find the marking guide missing? The first pages of instructions refers to it being on the first page of instructions, which it isn't.

I'll be adding some clay incase I ever decide to put it up on a C6.

I found I didn't need a marking guide. The six tubes fit around the rocket very nicely. I glued two tubes at a time together, and set them on a flat, smooth surface until they dried. Then I took the three two-tube assemblies and glued them in place as directed in the instructions. Came out just fine.

Best Regards

Adding the clay is a good idea, since it can get squirrely on a C engine. To determine the correct amount of clay:
1) Load a B6-4 engine. Find the balance point and mark it.
2) Load a C6-5 engine. Add clay to the nose until the balance point matches the B6-4 point.

My TT has about a dozen flights on it and it's still going strong.
