Estes Twin Factor

[RobertH3]

Knocked this little kit out today, deserves a call out for being kind of fun. All cardstock and shroud around a pair of switch band sized body tubes. One of mine was bent a little. Nice to scuff and glue prime and get instant adhesion. I mostly used TB2 but did use a little Cya to wick into the large body tubes and the cardstock fins. Good kit if you can find one, one of our club members was selling his collection.

Cheers / Robert

You could brush paint the inside. I just spackled it with green paint. The rocket has survived many atrocities.

One good thing about tumble / lawn dart recovery - CATO survival! Gives an extra launch kick.
Was going to fly today but rained out...

Indeed. I've had an A10-0T CATO in my Twin Factor and it caused little ill effect.

My Indicator is also tough.

What's a good way to straighten the not so round thin body tubes and conform to the round paper stock ring?? Maybe glue 1 CM at a time? Find something to wrap the tube around and apply heat to try and conform it??

TIA

The not so round tubes should fit inside the rings.
