I am a copter recovery enthusiast and was very happy to see Jim release the Rose-a-Roc design as a kit. I have flown many Helicopter recovery rockets. I have QCR, Venus Rocketry, Apogee and many scratch build Rot-a-Rocs, Chicago Choppers and some of my own design.
In this build a I plan to break it down with pictures into 4 parts:
1. Rotor Blade Construction
2. Body and Rotor Shaft
3. Rotor Hub Construction
4. Nose Cone and Fins
The instructions are very well thought out and detailed. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you read the instructions thoroughly. Things like knowing the difference between what is the underside of the blade according to its orientation, grain direction, wire bend angles etc...
Read and read again. Match your building to the pictures. Doing these things will lead to a successful build.
Here are the kit parts:
