I havent done a build thread in a while. Ive had a good time building three other Dr. Zooch kits. This is one I bought at the Rocketry Zones closing sale.
Opening the box, I sanded square the tube ends, nose cone and adapter bases. I used some thin CA to strengthen the inside of the body tube ends.
I went ahead and scanned the wrap sheets. These are really just outlined cuts, with no inside printing. I wanted to have the option to make new ones if necessary.
I changed out a new #11 blade and put new 400 grit on my sanding block.
STEP 1: PARTS LIST
The kit uses standard parts except for a pre-weighted balsa Spacecraft Adapter and ribbon-like Kevlar.
The long Spacecraft adapter is cut into plugs later on in Step 8b.
The Kevlar is two pieces twisted together. Each strand is almost like a flat ribbon, with filaments. It feels plenty strong, just different than the standard Kevlar supplied in other kits.
STEP 2: ALIGNMENT SLEEVE
Cut out the Alignment Sleeve, wrap and tape around the T-50 tube. You are told to set it aside until step 16.
