    Estes Rubicon

    The Rubicon is one of my earlier attempts. It has flown quite well on Ds and, once, an E15. On each flight, though, I manage to pop off a fin or a nozzle. So far every nozzled has been put back at least once and 2 of them are now lost.

    I've been more fortunate with the fins. Each has been put back on at least twice and I have always found the popped fin. So far, I have tried tube type plastic cement, liquid plastic cement and CA. All have failed.

    Does anyone have a suggestion that will hold up?

    I used to tell Mom, "...I want to fly rockets when I grow up!"

    She said, "Make up your mind, you can't do both!"
