BMS School Rocket, Build, Background

This is the original BT-50 based Balsa Machining Service School Rocket.
The picture is from the BMS website, in yellow and black school bus colors.

14" tall, 0.976" diameter
Balsa nose cone and balsa thru-the-wall fins
The fins and body tube fin slots are laser cut.
Kevlar Shock Cord
Shiny chrome Streamer recovery
3/16" diameter launch lug 

Perfect for school groups looking to actually build a model rocket.
A little like the Estes Alpha, but with four fins and a with a longer body tube for easier wadding and streamer packing.

The price is great for group purchases, $6.75 each in any quantity.

While the model assembly is for the most part standard, I'll incorporate some personal changes.
