Estes Xarconian Cruiser Build Part 2 More Parts

Here's the parts of interest:
The canopy nose cone. It's blow-molded with very little seams.
The launch lug is 3/16" diameter.
The engine mount tube is a standard BT-20 tube, not the thinner yellow tube usually supplied in Estes kits.
A plastic ribbed tail cone.
Two 1090 thick walled tubes



Lots of laser cut wood!
The two larger sheets are 3/32' thick.
The smaller sheet on the upper left is 1/16" thick.







Even though the kits were well packed for mailing, the 18" long BT-55 main tube was crimped!
I've got plenty of sub-assemblies to make while I order another 55 tube.

BUILD TIME
Open bag, parts inventory and pics: 15 minutes
Total build time so far: 15 minutes
