260 Space Booster Build Part 1 Parts

I'll use standard Estes parts from the plans:

From left to right:
Clear fin (body wrap) substitute is a 4' clear fluorescent tube guard
7" BT-60 and Balsa Adapter #TA-5060
7 3/4" BT-50 and Nose Cone #TA-550
4 1/4" BT-20 Engine Mount Tube
12" Parachute, Shroud Lines and Tape Reinforcement rings
Shock Cord and Kevlar
Launch Lug
Clear Fin Material (underneath Parachute)
JT-60C Stage Coupler
Three Adapter Rings #RA-2060
Instructions printed from web address in last post.

Some parts of interest:

I'm using the new all cotton shroud line string found HERE
The nose cone will be formed from a #TA-550 balsa adapter
The fluorescent tube guard diameter is just slightly larger than a standard BT-60 tube.
A homemade parachute cut from a plastic tablecloth sheet.
