You didn't mention it, but your photos also show a cool technique I hadn't considered for positive motor retention of a sustainer engine. Thanks.

Do you mean the short tube on top of the booster with the slot?
They sure are shiney!

I finally decided to take a break from the kit building/manufacturing part of the hobby.
It was kinda sucking the fun out of it for me.
So I decided to build two projects just for me!
The first is a BT-70 sized 2.27X upscale of the Astron Constellation. Power will be a 3 X 24 cluster.
The second is the Astron Apogee II a Two stage single D12-0 to an E9-8 BT-70 sized 3X upscale
Look at the slabs of 3/16" balsa...yes I said balsa!...for the booster fins! 10" wide at the cord!
That's a regular BT-50 sized Astron Constellation in the middle for reference.
