Baffle in the Estes Black Star Voyager?

Check out the instructions for the new Estes Black Star Voyager kit - HERE
This is a level V build!

A forum post talked mentioned a baffle in this kit.
All you are really doing is drilling some holes in the adapter to allow the ejection charge to pass through. Later in the flight prep you are told to add wadding.

Instead of drilling four 1/8" holes,  I'd probably cut off the top of the adapter leaving most all of the shoulder for gluing. That's a long body tube to pressurize.

While you are checking out the instructions, take a look at the built up fins and ridged nose cone. Pretty cool!
