Hey fellow rocketeers
Now that my Estes Saturn 1b is nearing completion (the last layer of clear coat came today), I got a new project from my growing stack.
The choice fell on the Apogee X-15, which I bought from a friend.
Viewing the kit:
Everything there and in good quality. I started with the baffle, which is assembled from 3 plywood parts and the coupler:
The tubes glued together with the help of the coupler and at the same time glued the formers on the engine tube. It struck me that this is probably the first 29mm motor model that I build... Well, bigger is always possible. I have to order hardware... First of all, probably a screw mount.
