Good Morning all.
I had the opportunity to buy a few older rocket models, including the Hellfire from The Launchpad. Unfortunately, the manual was not available, but I was able to get the manual afterwards so I have all the necessary information to build that thing
It started at the weekend. The motor mount is ready and equipped with a screw retainer instead of the enclosed motor hook. So I can use 24mm motors and with an adapter also 18mm motors.
In the pictures, the Kevlar cord is not quite on the front frame because the whole story still has to dry.
The lower fairing is prepared. Originally the cone was supposed to be rolled out of paper and hardened with superglue, but I decided to use thin (self-laminated) GRP. It's definitely the more permanent solution.
I didn't really like the paper holder for the shock cord either. I have therefore attached a Kevlar cord to the motor mount to which the shock cord will be attached afterwards.
Because pictures are known to say more than a thousand words... Here we go
