I had a 3X24mm-bt-80 motor mount that was a miss order from some time back just lying around so I thought to myself - If I bought a tube and Nose cone...
34" BT-80 tube and nose cone from Balsa Machining Service (love these guys)
5 "spiked" and papered Balsa fins (each are 2 piece to switch the grain for stronger fins)
Fin shrouds are Estes Bt-5 tubes and nose cones - cut length wise and slotted (made a jig for the nose cone and hand cut with an Exacto saw)
3-24mm cluster engine mount
Baffle
Red vinyl wrap hand cut into "drip" pattern and wrapped at top of body tube
Nose cone painted as close to "drip" color as I could find.
White rail buttons
Achieves approx 800ft on 3-D12s.
