Assemble the Cyclone by rotating the stabilizer unit
until the fins and engine hook are opposite the spin unit's
fin. Then slide the two units together.
The rocket will look rather like a large Estes® Mosquito.
Standing the Cyclone on end, you can see that there is not
much to it! The ability of the Cyclone's spin unit to rotate
and descend slowly is due solely to the asymmetries in the fin's
area and weight distribution.
No moving parts are necessary!
Launch the Cyclone with a 1/2A3-2T for its first flight, or if
it is a windy day. Use A3-4T mini-engines for normal flights.
No ejection wadding is necessary. Do not pack any into the
spin unit, or it may fail to rotate.
Maintain your Cyclone by blowing into the vent hole of the
spin unit after each flight to remove the ash from the ejection
charge. Periodically use a toothbrush or small bottle brush to
remove accumulated ash from the inside of both the spin unit and
the stabilizer unit.
