Estes Comet Chaser (3202) Details (lots of them)

[K'Tesh]

I need a lot of info on this one. I know that the payload section is BT-50, the body tube, and the motor tube are BT-20, I even have scans of the decals, and I can download the instructions.

What I don't know is the length of the body tubes, tube coupler, launch lug, the engine hook retaining ring, nosecone, and the transition (as well as shoulder lengths). I also need the fin dimensions (thickness included). I'd also like to know the length and weight of the eye bolt, and the shock cord (I know the parachute is 12").

I have my suspicions, but I want to make sure.

Thanks!
Jim

Fins and standoffs are 3/32" thick.


That's all I have found so far. But I'll keep working on it. I'm trying to get accurate fin measurements now.

BTW, you owe me bro! lol

Yeah, I think I do.

Here's what I've got so far. The fins and the nosecone are suspect, but I think that the baseline of the rocket is correct.

I'm working on inputing the fin data. I have the fins properly proportioned. Of that I am sure. I can get them 100% I believe, if I could get the root edge length. I have the standoff accurate in my file. Just one simple missing piece of data.

The standoff is 2.5" base, 2.0" top, 45° slopes.

 

[Kruegon]

This is what I have so far. I'm positive about the fin shape being accurate, just need that root edge length.

Rediscovered my scan of the fins and the decals... I noticed that I have marked the scan of the fins as 1/16" thick, which would make the LL stand-off 1/8" thick. My measurments of the standoff has it as 2 3/8" long at the root, 2" at the tip, and a span of 3/16"
