Looking really goodIt has been snowing and cold so I had nothing better to do than keep on building. I used threaded inserts for motor retention. I will use screws with washers to hold the motor in place. I added a tube from the top cr to the aft one just in case I wanted to try airstarts with it. The fins go in super easy and are very sturdy. They sit in the valley between 2 motor mounts for a solid fit.

Interesting haven’t thought to use that before that must be pretty easy to applyFillets are done. On rockets that aren't getting j and k motors, I really like to use this method.View attachment 500172View attachment 500173
It is and dries super strong. All the streng is in the through the wall fins.Interesting haven’t thought to use that before that must be pretty easy to apply

I like it a lot looks goodPaint. I went with flat black. View attachment 500568
Thanks. I used the same only stealth and liked it so I figured I'd try it on this one. Messed up the decal so I'm waiting for a new one. Should look nice I think. This picture has the same black on 2 rockets with different clear coat.I like it a lot looks good
Simple. Just like caulking anything. lay down a bead and smooth with your finger.Looks nice, how about a few more details on how you did your fillets with the Gorilla.
Thanks
Not sure if yours was older. I know they updated the kit to fit better.Awesome! Maybe mine was an old kit.

Too late to caution you to install RMS casings with rear closures before gluing motor mounts into aft ring. LOC still puts their holes a bit tight in the cluster rings.
I've flown mine on 7x G80s (SU) and G104Ts (RMS). Clusters rock!

Awesome build you have there.They sure do!! And the Ultimate is one of my favorite clusters made.
Few shots of my LOC IROC custom done with a 38mm + 6x29mm, an AV bay, a payload section, and an electronics hatch integrated into the gap between the 29mm tube bulkhead and the top of the 38mm bulkhead with an igniter conduit run down to the bottom CR. As well, some shots on what I plan to fly it on in the spring.
The Ultimate on 7 blue thunders is a sight to see!!!
Watching this build thread!!!

Awesome build you have there.
I will be doing that on a LOC Iris that will be a 2 stage rocket.Its more to pay homage to your build! But also to point out the electronics "hatch" between the short tubes and the long tubes, like on the Ultimate. Its a great place for electronics to fire airstarts. Might be something you could still add to the Ultimate at this stage if it was something you wanted to do. Should be plenty of room vertically, even with the 4" airframe.
It hardens, but not like epoxy. If you push hard enough, you could leave a mark.Hey Bobby does the Gorilla harden or does it stay soft and flexible? I guess what I'm asking is if you pressed on it with a fingernail would it leave a mark. Just wondering, something new to learn.
Thanks
