One more for today. I built this Estes Long Tom kit last fall, this is my first multi-staged rocket (despite lots of single-staged ones).
I fitted it with an ejection baffle, per the original Centuri design. I didn't go so far as to adopt the gap staging, so the engines will still taped and friction fitted. The only other deviation from standard is the single red fin set, inspired by my D-Region Tomahawk. It also occurred to me that adding some red to the booster will make it easier to find later. I'm hoping for a successful first flight later this spring.
