Mach 1 Starlight 38 Build Video

[Ian A Dalton]

I did a build video for the Mach 1 Starlight 38mm. In this I show how to do a kevlar fillet. Enjoy.

Thanks for this video. I have one of these kits in a box with an SMT bay to build around a Loki 38-480 case. I can see how the Kevlar was intended to be threaded on the fins better now.

Is this truly min. diameter?
Seems there is a tube inside holding motor, which that tube is really a 38mm airframe......do I have it correct, or am I missing something?

No, it’s not truly minimum diameter as it is a BT60 tube and requires the stuffer tube to fill in the extra space. In the end it is about .75mm wider than most true MD rockets.

Sad to see videos like these not available anymore.

It looks like Ian pulled all of his content from Badass Rocketry. They really were very well done and informative videos.
