I'm down to the short strokes on an Estes #7251 Saturn 1B. I've wrapped the SM with a Sandman silver decal, thew RCS units are on, and the umbilical tunnel of the CM is in the correct place.

What I DON'T know is: what is the correct rotational position of the SM onto the blow-molded LEM fairing? Back when the LEM fairings were just cardstock and had no real surface features it didn't really matter, but now with the surface details on the blow-molded LEM fairing I'd like to get it right for correct scaleocity(?)

Thank you!

Alway's Rockets of the World should set you straight. I'm at work or I'd look. Best I can do from here is throw a few pics of Apollo 7 at you.

I checked ROTW, but since all (4) quadrants aren't the same on the blow-molded LEM fairing I'm still not sure of the orientation.

Without changing the rotation of the CM/LES assembly atop the SM, I've rotated the SM to (4) different quadrants of the LEM fairing. Each of the (4) quadrants is slightly different in surface features--so which is the correct position: A, B, C, or D?

Thank you.

Ok....before I go one, I'll admit I had a rather potent Magarita so maybe I don't under stand or what but maybe these instructions might help.....?????
