Default Semroc Maple Seed question.

I'm finishing a Semroc Maple Seed #FA-35. I can't find ANYWHERE in the directions where to place the launch lug.

Anyone know?

Thanks!

Last step of the instructions "step 30: Insert an unused D12-3. Take your balanced Maple Seeds and hang them on their hooks. Using a piece of cardstock or ruler, balance your Maple Seed rocket and make a mark on the launch lug line at the balance point. Remove the seeds from the hooks. Mark the center of the launch lug. Line up the mark on the launch lug with the mark you made on the launch lug line and glue it into place.

This completes the assembly of your Semroc Maple Seed. We hope you have a lot of fun flying it."

Such detailed instructions for locating the launch lug makes me think they experienced some rod binding on the prototypes.

Technically on any rocket you want one short lug at the CG and one short lug as far back as possible. My prior comment notwithstanding.
