I am starting to build my Ventris kit and am making some pretty good progress so far. I have my 1/8th ply fins cut out and "match" sanded. Same with the 1/8" ply centering rings.
I am currently working on the baffle plates. I am turning the coupler into an ejection baffle. I never said it'd be stock; I hardly ever do that
It won't be too long before I finish building my kit and will start building the rocket and I have a question...
While looking over the instructions on the Estes website I noticed they have the builder use carpenter's glue for everything but the engine retainer. I know the kit was designed for the Estes 29mm motors and I suspect wood glue is probably fine for those motors. The question in my mind is should I use a different glue if I plan to use this rocket for my first foray into composite motors? Maybe some epoxy in select areas?
What do you all think?
