Here goes, my first scratch build. "Test to Destruction" gets its inspiration and its name from the fact that I want to try out a few building method ideas that I haven't used so far. And I don't want to try them out on a beautiful kit I dropped 20 or 30 bucks on! If I end up finishing off a build with a ball peen hammer, some lighter fluid, and a match, I want it to be one of mine.
It's pretty much a bog standard 3FNC. LPR, BT-60. The fins are a little different in their shape but that's about it. The parts are mostly ones I had in my spares box, basically leftovers from an Estes Patriot I bought and raided for parts. I bought a nose cone and a baffle kit for this, and will have to scrounge a thrust ring from a motor mount kit.
OpenRocket file and picture of a possible paint/decal scheme follow.
