StratoFins Water Rocket, Assembly Part 1



Here's the parts for the StratoFins launcher.
My "kit" came unassembled.
I'll have to supply duct tape, PVC glue, scissors, screwdriver and a ruler.







The StratoFins slide onto the "Nozzle" and the assembly screws onto a 2 liter soda bottle.
The plastic fins are made from high impact plastic and should survive some hard landings.






Parts of interest:

The vertical launch tube with the swelled ring. (The lip of the bottle sits on this enlarged area of the tube)
A Shrader valve already attached to a PVC cap.
The launcher base is cleanly cut from hard black plastic.
