Howdy all.

I have had a few people ask me how or what I used to build my Rocket Launcher. Now this is a bit hard to do after you build it so here is my best effort on a how 2 after I have finished.

Things you will need is the following.

1/ About 3 meters of 40mm Low Pressure pipe (actual length for mine was 264cm)
2/ 4 x 40mm offset T pieces. (low pressure) Got these from the markets for $2.50 each
3/ 1 x 32mm High pressure T Piece.
4/ 1 x packet of 40m Zenith Picture Hooks
5/ That Blue glue stuff
6/ Can of black paint ( hey it might be silver or pink, 2 buck fiddly bits from Bunnings)

Tools

1/ Hacksaw
2/ Drill
3/ Rivet Gun
4/ Drill Bits. Various sizes but you wil need a 12.5mm
5/ File

Ok. Actual rod holder when fitted looks like this.

Here is a picture of it uninstalled

Here are the actual Dimensions of all the bits as fitted to my Revo

Close up of the Offset T pieces that form the upright connection and the cross connection. Have a closer look and you will see that the actual T is not a perfect T and it is offset.

Next shot shows the actual centre connector. Have a closer look this is the 32mm High pressure T piece and it is a proper T with the same amount of offset both sides.

Ok here is the drawing again. You will notice that the drawing is not aligned as far as the centre sections go. Have a close look at the T pieces again. See the offsets and proper T pieces. The centre section is draw this way as the rod holders in the actual Yak are slightly angled, so you are never going to get a perfect square end result.

Cut your little bits up and dry install them to each other. Make sure you are happy before you glue the little tackers together.

Right. Now that its all together its time to drill a couple of holes for the slots for your rods. I suggest that you start with a small hole and move up to a larger bit to the end hole which in my case was 12.5mm. The first hole is drilled approx 40mm from the top of the rocket launcher. Once all holes are drilled then get you hacksaw blade and cut down neatly to the sides of the holes to make the slots. Clean up with a file all rogh bits and you should end up with something that looks like this.

Ok, still got all your fingers. The last thing is to get the rocket launcer into your rod holder and look at where you are going to put your picture hooks. Remember, measure twice. Ok the picture hooks come with 4 nail things in them. Pull them out. See where you want the hook on the lower section, drill and pop rivet them on.

Paint it and the end result should look something hopefully like this.

Here it is fitted with four rods and my net all mounted. Sexy hey.
