The blow molded nose cone did have some seams. I did my best to smooth them out but didn't do any seam filling. Heck, it's only a five dollar rocket. I'm not going that crazy with this one.
I don't know why this picture came out orange.
The attachment hole needed to be cleared for tying on the shock cord.
I used the Duncan Uni-Knot.
The small black nozzles are glued into small holes in the back of the fin can.
The holes were too small and were enlarged with a small diamond file. A small amount of glue was set into the holes and the nozzles pressed and turned into place.
I'll be substituting a 12" chute in its place.
The chute colors aren't a great match for a red and yellow rocket.
Watch out for placement of those nozzles. They WILL interfere with the engine loading! On my 2nd build, I angled the outwards just the slightest bit.
ReplyDeleteBTW, that BT is TOUGH. I bought six of this series for my grandkids. No worries about being too fragile!
