Last kit I've got to Bash from TLP. *must buy more*
I really don't like the looks of the stubby nose cone so I'll probably
rob one from my other scratch build I'm working on now.
The length is 23.5", without the nose cone. 1/8" Basswood used for the fins, epoxied to the tube
and motor mount.
The fins are through the wall. My Flail rocket fins have been repaired twice now, so this shouldn't happen so
easily to this one.
I used an Estes motor hook, like all the other recent builds, but for this one I used a 3-3/4" in length.
I don't care for the TLP motor hooks. The Estes motor hooks have the extra length and bends to it so you can
get a finger on it much better and they slide out of the way when you load them, (that's for new-comers of course)
I cut up one of those Ugly nose cones and glued it to the tail. At first it had most of it's length and
had the appearance of a cone but I was afraid it would eventually get burned out so it got cut off
shorter, just covering up the motor hook.
