Back on the old TRF, I was in the middle of a build thread on the A-Corn from First Flight Hobbies. Then things went kaput.
I have since completed the rocket, given it a single test flight and through the magic of SECRET FORMULA X86, can recreate the build thread word for word.
As you may know, the A-Corn is the 13mm version of the 18mm Corn Roc.
Here Goes:
Construction is very similar to that of the Corn Roc. It begins with making a slit in the motor tube for the engine hook. The hook is then placed and held down with tape. A thrust ring is inserted in the forward end and glued into place. Finally, the centering rings are slipped on and glued. I found the centering rings to be very tight and the hole was too small to allow my finger access with sandpaper. I finally filed away some of the thickness with a rat tailed file.
