For my Level 2 certification, I am constructing a Performance Rocketry 1/4 Scale Nike Smoke. I am planning on using a Pro38 J335 Red Lightning reload, at Northern Colorado Rocketry's new year's day launch.
Picture 1:
All the parts laid out. The kit has a nosecone, 4" fiberglass tube, 54MM motor mount, 2 centering rings, nosecone bulkplate, and 4 fiberglass fins. Next to the nosecone is an Aeropack retainer with a 54-38 adapter. There is also 2 stainless steel U-bolts and quick links. Finally to put it all together, Aeropoxy, Colloidal Silica filler, and GLR expanding foam.
Picture 2:
Sanding down the edge off of the side of the nosecone
Picture 3:
Attaching the U-bolt to the top centering ring. The backing plate had to be grinded along the black line to make room for the motor mount and body tube
Picture 4:
Top centering ring attached to motor tube, with fillet in place
I will try to update this thread with lots of pictures as I make progress. Questions, comments, suggestions are always welcome.
