Here I'm gluing the joining strip to the inside of the slit scrap tube.
Card stock was glued around the coupler with a glue stick.
There are two separate "steps."
The first step fits the inside taper of the nose cone wall.
The second wrap butts up against the base of the nose cone.
The champagne flute nose cone is a close fit on the Quest 50mm tube. The shoulder piece needs the shims to fit well.
Chris,
ReplyDeletePlease tell me you’re almost done with the first draft of your book, "Low Level Rocketry, Master Building Tips and Techniques.
:-)
Book? Nope. This is all I got!
ReplyDeleteTime to think about one, you have enough background material/experience and what us old timers are building is the stuff of our childhood, expensive. Estes Starlab went for over 150 bucks today on e-bay... Just an observation, but any one that would spend 150 on and old Estes (and all old Estes Centuri goes for $$$) would buy a book on how to professionally build said rocket.
ReplyDeleteWhat I mean is to go beyond they apogee book and describe the creative process of building level 1 - 5 low level model rockets.
I think you have the platform and notoriety to pull this off and all the world of rocketry would benefit.
