For sale is a kit that I just can't figure out, but I'm not really interested in smaller kits, so this one is going on the block too.

Description: It's a 38mm (OD) diameter rocket with three (3) fins. The airframe is in two sections that each measure 24.5" long each. The nosecone measures another 8.75" in length (exposed) for a rocket that would be 57.75" long when completed.

There is what appears to be an AV Bay (but with two switch bands), and it has a stepped shoulder on the inside of the coupler that one of the bulkplates fits into. There is a bulkhead for the nosecone, and several other bulkplates that are the same OD as the coupler, but it just doesn't add up for me. I thought the switch bands might be centering rings for the airframe at first glance, but they don't fit inside the airframe. Arghhh....

The fin can is pre-slotted for the 3 G10 fins that come with the kit, but that's about all I know about this setup. I think there's a part or two missing, but you're going to have to figure that out.

$85 Paypal Friends and Family ONLY please. PM with any questions. Thank you! Sam

Wildman JRs are 54mm so that's not a JR.

Does it have two couplers? One coupler plus one switch band at the nose cone then one each for your traditional A/V bay. Looks like one of my purchases. Piece together bits and pieces doing a mind sim; then shelve the project for a few months. Finally get back to it and have no idea why I bought so many bulkplates.

Probably at one time had a 29mm mount for it. Looks like the fin tabs are long enough for such a setup. But the rings and MMT are gone.

:confused:
