I can tell that it's flying season again and I'm back into building mode. With the F-32 build waiting on paint to cure before final finishing, it's time to start something else. Lately I've been buying rockets and parts from pretty much everyone except estes and with the exception of the So Long release, I feel like that trend is going to continue.
I recently picked up a set of fins for a Mega Mosquito build from Bad Boy Rocketry. I had everything else needed and have been wanting to build another on of these for a long time so lets get started.
Parts list.
BT80 body tube 11.5" Long.
Estes PNC80B nose cone.
BT80/50 centering ring 1/8" plywood.
BT80/50 centering ring hand cut from card stock.
Plywood fin cores from Bad Boy Rocketry.
Outer fin skins cut from 1/32 Balsa.
3/16" launch lug 2.5" long.
700# Kevlar. Approx. 10" long.
BT50H motor tube 3.75" long.
BT20/50 ring for motor block.
Motor clip for E sized 3.75" motors.
Scrap piece of tube to use as motor hook retainer.
With everything cut, the build begins tonight
