The wife got me an Estes LJ2 and an Apogee Saturn V for Xmas. I'm a multi time BAR, been in and out of the rocketry scene since 1977. This will be my first scale build since my Maxi Honest John in 1998. It's gonna be a semi slow build, just ordered a bunch of stuff from erockets lastl night to convert it to a six 18mm motor cluster so I'm building things out of order. Odd out of order subassemblies is a trick I learned building model and R/C cars.
I have started with modding the centering rings and building the fins. One fin half was poorly molded and will require some putty to fill the seam.
The top centering ring I cut 18mm holes in will be attached to the motor tubes but the lightened ring will be used to sandwich in a stainless steel ejection baffle. Now to wait for glue and putty to dry.
