 | | The lower fuselage, which housed the motor, was fabricated from aluminum tubing of 2 inch outside diameter, with relatively thick walls (0.070 inch; 1.8 mm) to facilitate mounting of the fins, motor, and launch lugs. |
 | | Before insertion of the fin assembly into the fuselage slots, a film of silicone adhesive was put on the fairing surfaces to bond them to the fuselage (silicone was used to allow for later fin removal). |
 | | The Cirrus One had a fwo part fuselage, with the lower section serving to house the motor, and the upper fuselage held the payload and parachute (the purpose for having the fuselage in two sections was for the purpose of shipping). |
