3. ATTACH PARACHUTE
A. Smear white glue on bottom, sides and
front of one rudder assembly as shown.
4. ATTACH RUDDER ASSEMBLIES
B. Attach rudder assembly
to rear of jet. Let dry.
C. Repeat for other
jet. Let dry.
5. BALANCE JETS FOR FLIGHT
B. If jet does not balance, add or remove small
amounts of clay weight to the nose cavity until
the jet is balanced or level while holding it as
shown.
GLIDER ADJUSTMENTS:
If jet DIVES: Remove weight, a little at a time, from
nose cavity.
If jet STALLS: Add clay weight, a little at a time, to
nose cavity.
If jet TURNS TOO SHARPLY: Gently bend elevator
section of the down wing up.
The jet should perform a large, gliding circle during
descent.
6. GLIDE TEST
CORRECT FLIGHT - SLOW
LOSS OF ALTITUDE
LIGHT STALL - OK
HEAVY STALL - NO GOOD
STEEP DIVE - NO GOOD
A. Hold jet at eye level, aim at a spot about 50 feet
(15 m) away and toss jet straight out.
B. Observe glide carefully. Make adjustments a little
at a time until you are satisfied with the glide.
C. Once satisfied with glide, press clay firmly into
nose cavity.
BODY TUBE
A. Place a jet on your thumb and finger
approximately 5” (12.7 cm) from the rear of the
jet as shown. See if it will balance.

REPAIRING THE JETS
Use white glue to repair any breaks
in the foam on the jets. Make sure to
let the glue dry completely before
attempting to launch. After the repair,
you should check the balance of the
jet and perform a glide test before
launching. See Step 5 for balancing
and Step 6 for the glide test.
