This may be a bit of a slow paced build, I am not feeling motivated to rush through it. I did want to do a build thread though, because there is not too much out there on this rocket. The part that most interested me is the open air gap staging. The kit comes with a removable vented body tube to close the gap, but I have seen a photo or two of open air gap staging that does seem to show it works. Results of my mindsim tell me that the upper stage is no less likely to light with the gap tube removed than when it is in place. I believe the gap tube is more of an assistance for jettisoning the booster by allowing more pressure to be able to build between the stages.
