Finally getting around to building this one. I notice in the instructions there is an eyebolt attached to the forward ring of the motor assembly, as well as the baffle section that attaches to the bottom of the middle body tube. What would be the function of the bolt below the baffle, since the...

Congratulations on your flight. I'm about to build the same model and your story is helpful. I see you chose to build the fin assembly and cut into the body tube to get the fins in. I'm inclined to do the same.

Mine also came with nose weight, but I can't remember exactly how much. You could pour in some fishing lead balls followed by some epoxy and leave it propped up on the tip. Note that this is one of my longest-performing rockets, couldn't even tell you how many launches I've gotten out of it.

I went with the Cesaroni recommended earlier in the thread. Hopefully I can get reloads for it...

BTW, do the reloads from Aerotech fit into the Cesaroni engines? Or are they all just meant for their own casings?

Everyone here has been fantastic. Thank you -- great forum.

Great, that's awesome, I was planning to go to Lucerne to get certified with ROC. I don't think I'll have received the 29mm reload able I just ordered in time for December 13, but will hopefully see you in January.

That's great, guys, thanks. What about a general learning resource for the technical questions that will be expected of me? Is there a study guide?

I just joined NAR today, and plan on attending a launch soon where I'd like to certify. I have the Estes Leviathan and Argent models (29mm) and am trying to determine if it's practical to purchase a reloadable H engine for one of these.

Are there any hobby stores in the Los Angeles area that sell reloadable engines or G and H single use? It would be nice to avoid hazmat fees...

OK, regarding the motor mount question, Loc Precision really came through for me with the following:

Ha, you're actually right, I used a great deal of license when I painted it.

OK, I've finished the rocket! My wife was a little alarmed to see swastikas on the fins, despite my reassurance this this is the way they really looked, so perhaps I shouldn't post a picture? In any event, I'm a little confused about how to use the 29mm adapter that I made for it. I assume...

Will do, thanks.

I'm newish to the world beyond Estes, and will be using G-size engines with the 29mm motor adapter. Should I use the entire bag of ballast with this model? Thanks in advance!
