Installing Launch Lugs

Finally got the launch lugs installed on the rocket.

Steps were:-

  • Measured out where each lug would be, taking care to ensure they were lined up visually.
  • Scuff the rocket where the lugs were to be installed using sandpaper. I sanded it back down to the Quantum Tubing
  • Scuffed the launch lugs
  • Mixed up A , B Areldite
  • Applied Areldite to both the Quantum tube and the Launch lug and stuck together

Here are some pictures:-
