I was lucky enough to be gifted a rocket!!! This is a kit that I had my sights on before I decided to go for my Level 1. I’m very excited to get a chance to build one and fly some mid-power motors this fall.
This kit came in a nice box, pretty standard fare inside…
This kit came with a long length of kevlar cord, so I chose to notch the centering ring and tied the shock cord to the motor mount. I feel a little silly and I am kicking myself for it now, but I glued the knot to the bottom rather than the top ring. I think it should all work out in the end
I'm building another mid power rocket right now that I plan to fly on G's, this one I think will be primarily E/F motors. I am doing epoxy fillets on that one, for this one I slapped it in the fin jig and got the fins attached with TBII.
I plan on doing a threaded motor retainer, so I measured and made sure to leave a little bit of overhang to give me room to JB weld that sucker on when I procure it
Primer/Paint next, thinking of a Burgundy/Orange/White scheme for this one. (I can always be convinced to change my mind, so don't hold me to this)
