The Big Fix! - Scavenger


After a hard landing at the May NEFAR launch, the Scavenger needs a new upper tube.

The ejection charge pushed off the nose cone but not the parachute.
This should be any easy repair.



I've got a few Quest 50mm tubes.
The bent tube was cut off right at the black color separation line.
A coupler was made from some scrap tube and glued in place.
The newly painted black tube followed.

The Scavenger is already loaded with a new E9-6 engine for the Tampa TTRA launch.
