Cherokee E build

[mbeels]

Ok I decided to go with the Launch Lugs that are stood off the Body tube....................I found a better launch lug material, let's see who can identify where this came from.

The tubes that aerotech igniters come in, with bamboo skewers?

Exactly! Good Job and the only one to get it. No prizes, sorry!

All finished. Just added the decals so they just need to dry. Will be ready to launch tomorrow.

Did you round or airfoil the fin LE and TE? I cannot tell from the photo.

I left my Cherokee-D build with squared off fins just looked better and I believe stronger.

BT-5 motor mount placement/pushers?

I just now found this thread looking for something else.
WOW, nice job on the build, and flight was great to watch!
I got my order from Hobby Lobby Yesterday, and I picked one up.
But I'll be doing mine in the color scheme of the original D colors.
I'll get some Stickshock decals in the correct color.
I now have Semroc's Cherokee C & D, and Estes E.
Winter builds next year, too many unfinished kits and scratch builds to finish this year.
BTW, I picked up a 12 kit bulk pack of Vikings at Hobby Lobby for $30!
Always wanted to build a bunch with different fin configurations, and now I can...affordably!

It would have been cool if the Cherokee-E was an actual upscale, even just BT-60, but a new nose cone would be needed, I don't think Estes ever produced a secant-ogive NC larger than BT-55. Agree the Red decals look better, wish I could have picked up a Cherokee-C when they were still available, there's a big hole in my fleet: BT-4, BT-5, BT-55, BT-70, and 2.6". I've recovered the Cherokee-E twice now on an E12-8, one left in the pack!
