About this manual

This is the instruction sheet for the Estes Wicked Streak SST flying model rocket kit. It walks through laying out the parts and snapping the model together: matching the two nose cone halves, installing the engine tube in the body tube half with the launch lugs, attaching the printed and unprinted fins, locking on the engine cap, and tying the shock cord and streamer. Decal placement is covered with the note that the decal reinforces the body tube seams.

A second part covers flight: inserting recovery wadding, rolling and loading the streamer, preparing and installing an engine with igniter and plug, the pre-launch safety check, countdown and launch with the controller, and what to do after landing. Recommended Estes engines listed are the 1/2A3-2T and A3-4T.
