One of my favorites. I'll definitely be checking out the kit.You would be correct.
I will have 4 of these for sale in the next few weeks. I am finishing up a few small details. They will be 4" dia, 54mm motor mount and dual deployment.
The only problem with the estes one was that the rear fins should not be 45 rotated from the front fins. The fins all line up in a row. The one in the picture above would be the AM39.Neat looking bird.
Estes had a kit version of this also, Kit Model No. 874, sold from 1986 to 1989
Here's a link to a build thread here on TRF: Vintage Estes Exocet MM38 Build

Interesting. I wonder if Estes did that for added stability, to get the fins out of the slip stream of the upper fins, since it is an LPR?The only problem with the estes one was that the rear fins should not be 45 rotated from the front fins. The fins all line up in a row. The one in the picture above would be the AM39.
I had to adjust the forward fins little, nothing drastic. Keep in mind that this dual deployment so you have more forward weight.How much nose weight is this going to require? The pictures I found have the big fins pretty far forward. Or will you fudge the scale for stability's sake?

Thank you for the link - visited it (you were previously unknown to this ignoramus/B.A.R.) for the first time today! Interesting creations!You can check out our website https://dragonrocketry.com/
No I do not have a picture of all the parts in the kit. Body tubes are LOC, nose cone is printed and all other parts are cut in house.Do you have a picture of all the parts in the kit? I'm very tempted to order this. Also, what are the tubing dimensions/who is the provider (LOC?)?
Email me at [email protected]Do you have a sim file for this kit? I'd love to not have to measure out the fins in particular.
