Update #1: 9/28. Building the booster, part one.
The first step I took in building the Cherokee-E was to start building the fin jig. I will likely not be using it until towards the end of my build, after making the recovery system. However, I decided to do it today because it was convenient. The pieces were very loose, so I had to lay it down to glue.
This is a picture of the jig holding a tube.
Next, I built the motor mount tube. I will not be using a retainer, just the stock engine hook because I don't intend to fly it on bigger motors since it is a small kit. I used all purpose glue for the same reason. I made fillets with my fingers.
Then, I realized that the centering rings were snug already even with the glue still wet, so I decided to glue it into the booster section.
I also glued the coupler into the tube after scuffing it up.
Next update, I will make the upper section and recovery system. Until next time!
