Dr. Zooch Redstone Pics

I got a question regarding the capsule wrap shroud on the BT-50 based Dr. Zooch Freedom 7 kit. (Picture on the left.)
The picture on the right is the Dr. Zooch Mercury Redstone, BT-60 based kit.
Daniel E. had a concern about the fit of the conical shroud over the balsa capsule.
His shroud didn't fit all the way down to the bottom of the nose cone shoulder lip. The balsa capsule might have been made a little large. It doesn't take much to throw off the fit of the conical shroud.

Here's my response:

Hi Daniel,

I thought about your email today, regarding the fit of the capsule shroud on the Freedom 7 model. Hopefully I got it right! I knew you had said the Freedom 7.

The two Zooch Redstones are different.

The BT-50 Freedom 7:

See the first picture, the shroud does fit all the way down to the bottom and butts up against the body tube when slid into the tube.

There is a ring wrap on the body tube end to simulate the wider, flared base of the Mercury capsule.

BT-60, Mercury Redstone:

Second picture - 

Same thing here except the ring on the end of the body tube is actually a narrow  reversed conical shroud (wide end facing up)

At the capsule base there is a thin red ring wrap.

Both of the built up rings also make up the wider base at the low end of the capsule. 

I hope the build is coming along well!

I'll probably end up building two of the Estes Mercury Redstones down the road.
