Well, I ordered this kit as soon as I saw the article here and finally received it this last Friday! I won't go into all the gory measurements(these can be found here)..BUT, I WILL say all the parts are of a very high quality! And for an all fiberglass rocket the price was too good to pass up!
Here are all the awesome parts laid out:
First up is the motor mount..Did a very scientific method of determining where the centering rings are to go..I can't divulge this trade secret, but it makes for a good block for when I inject the epoxy for the internal fillets..Also the nice long length of shock cord is epoxied to the side of the motor mount..Notice the knot just below the fore centering ring..
And now the motor mount gets epoxied into the body tube..Here you can see the ring just above the fin slot of where the fore CR is..
Build to continue on Tuesday..Attached is the RockSim file I 'threw together' after taking meticulous measurements..Just change the extension from .txt back to .rkt to make the file work for you...
