Here's all the parts, right out of the bag.The Striker AGM looks to be a great design, perfect for demos and small fields with a B6-4.
The 35mm tube is long, just a little over 18" long.
The blue engine block isn't shown, it was found inside the yellow engine tube after the picture was taken.
The pieces of interest:The engine hook will be replaced with a spring steel hook made from the metal strip inside an old windshield wiper blade. This hook included with the kit bends easily. Looking ahead at the engine mount, the hook will need to be flexible.
The yellow engine mount tube is a little thin. It has a rough finish and would require a smooth surface where it's exposed out the back of the tail cone. I'll substitute a BT-20 tube.
The centering rings seem thin, but should be fine the way they are assembled in the mount.
The tail cone has ridges on it. There is four recessed lines used for fin alignment.
The thickness of the ridge around the shoulder is inconsistent, thinner on one side. This might effect the fin root edges contacting the body tube.
Dam, I should have checked here first. I'm 1/2 way through the Striker AGM build. Just attached two piece nose cone. I'll check here prior to building in the future. Cup half full, at least I'm only 1/2 way done and I can still follow how you did the rest. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Scott, I don't have all the rockets here. Before your next build, do a search at www.rocketreviews.com They've got thousands of build reviews there.
