OK....I am going to try my first build thread...I am pretty certain that most on here have superior building skills than I do, so I am always open for helpful hints and suggestions! I will try to keep this as updated as best I can....this week will be a busy week at work so I am not sure how much progress I'll be able to make..but...there is no hurry I suppose.
I have built a number of these Zooch 1b's for two reasons....First, it is my all time favorite rocket and second I LOVE this kit. No matter how many times I build one I am always amazed at the final product and the simple materials he utilizes to make this rocket. The end result is a rocket that stands @ 17.5" tall and flies great on both a "B" or "C" motor. Along the way I hope to add some additional details to her...we'll see how they turn out?
As always, the kit comes in a sturdy box that will hold the finished rocket...great for taking them to the range. There are quite a few parts as you can see...but nothing we can't handle! I also have a ASTP version...I took a picture of its box for you as well. For this thread, we are going to make Apollo 7's SA-205.
**Jan 26, 2014** for anyone interested in a Dr. Zooch Skylab or ASTP version of this kit, see page 7 of this thread. I will be building SA-208, or Skylab 4's Saturn 1b. I will make reference to parts of the original build thread and will try to add some other details to this awesome kit! Thanks for checking this thread out and I hope you enjoy.
