I'm lucky to have one of the last kits from BaddAzz rocketry - Defender MkIII. It's a 54mm fiberglass rocket with 38mm motor mount and the coolest nose cone and fins I've ever seen.
This is how the kit looks like:

This will be a very slow build thread, so that I get to enjoy every minute of it
Very clever! I never did figure out what those were for. I used an external jig to hold the fins at right angles instead.They go through the fin tabs and hold fins in place, like this:

Be sure to apply epoxy to the motor mount in the area where the fin tabs are. You dont want what happened to my rocket where the fins shredded the body tube.
Make sure to check the CP vs CG on this craft
In another words epoxy the fin tabs to motor mount.
I am really excited to see this build. I am also building this one, but not keeping your pace. It's like my rocket came with instructions after all!
UHMW, which means it's really hard to get paint to stick.That is one cool nose cone. Is it made out of plastic?
