So the brown truck showed up today delivery me a new build. Now I know you guys must be saying what is that doing in the High power room. Well in typical fashion for me this sucker will be packed with motors not designed for the kit. I plan on glassing the tube and throwing in a 38mm MMT. oint:
A few questions for those that may know. Being that this is an Estes kit does anyone know if Loc or someone else's centering rings will fit this tube? I don't want to make my own if I can avoid it. I was also leaning toward using the Kevlar socks from giant leap. Anyone know if that will be a pain to cut around the fin slots? I'm also on the fence with the fins. I've been debating on making some from scratch using g10 cores lamenated with balsa and fiberglass. Or glassing the plastic fins? I've never glassed over plastic and not sure it will stick that well. This will be a slow build since I plan on doing so many mods.
Feel free to throw some opinions at me. I'm open to any input.
