FlisKits MMX Crayon Build Part 1, Parts

I haven't built a MMX rocket in a while.
They are great first launch of the day models to test the controller, rod angle and winds.
This one is almost a minimum diameter and should be fast with good altitude.

Parts quality is very good.
The engine mount tube is a BT-2.5, just under 2" long.
The crayon tube is a 6" long BT-3.
The streamer is red plastic, 1/2" X 12" long.

Clockwise from the top:
The Kevlar shock cord is thin, the line in my MMX Honest John has burned through. I'll replace this line with something slightly thicker.
There is plenty of clear fin material, make extra fins.
The body wrap is printed on red construction paper.
The four centering rings and engine block are small but very well cut.
The small nail holds the shock cord in the nose cone base.
Finally, the crayon balsa nose cone.





While the FlisKit crayon wrap looks great I went and redrew a Crayola crayon logo wrap. I simply wanted it to look like a Crayola.
