I got this kit off E-bay recently with the intent to build. Forget the collect thing. The build has gone really well with all the same gotchas of a NCR kit.
The motor mount tube was peeled out and sanded down. Body tube spirals were filled with a watered down mixture of Elmer's fill and finish. Tail cone assembly was glued together with Plastruct Plastic Weld and the gap was filled with Jb Weld. All fins were tacked down with 5 minute epoxy and fillets were done with some West Systems epoxy.
A couple of mistakes sofar.....I didn't line up tailcone grooves dead center(I can live with it) and no positive motor retention. I'll either just friction fit with tape or come up with some kind of wire thingy. Any ideas now that I'm this far?
There's not really too many build threads about this rocket and only a couple reviews done years ago. I have a collection of NCR rockets stashed away and plan to build them in the near future.
