I just finished My Loc Tri-Star.
I was very pleased with the quality of the parts. All heavy duty stuff!
Although there were no illustrations provided with the directions, they were very clear. I had no troubles with the assembly at all.
I did however swap out the launch lug for rail buttons, other than that, everything is stock and per the instructions.
I did some sanding to the centering ring holes after the motor tubes were glued together. This was to be expected since the ring holes are such a precision cut, and the epoxy does take up some small space between the tubes of course.
When trying to decide which Loc kit to purchase, I was a little concerned with the way the fins mount between the motor tubes. Now that construction is complete, I am no longer concerned. A nice epoxy fillet took care of all worries there.
I did the entire build with Devcon 5 min epoxy, so construction moved along nicely. I found this to be a very satisfying build. It was nice to turn out such a large rocket in one building session. Very satisfying.
Cant wait to get some paint on this bird and get it in the air!
