ASP Ram B Build, Part 1, Parts


I picked up this A.S.P. (Aerospace Specialty Products) kit at JonRocket last week. It had an interesting roll pattern with some different colors not normally combined on a scale model. The colors are White, Red, Green, Silver, Gray and Black. 
I don't see this kit on the ASP website, it may be OOP.


All the parts - 
A small 1/8" thick balsa sheet - You cut out the fins "old school" which is fine by me!
Yellow, cardstock pattern sheet for the black body quarters
Black vinyl trim, one strip and a small roll
Red vinyl trim
Standard 20/50 engine mount with the ASP red engine mount tube
Pointed, conical nose cone, a section of BT-20 and a balsa 20/50 adapter
A large screw eye
Clay weight  to move the C/G forward
12" chrome Mylar 8 sided parachute

  1. This will be fun! ASP kits a great builds - my go-to suggestion when some crusty old school rocketeer starts griping about how most kits are “shake the box” these days. The actual RAM sounding rockets were flown to study antenna interaction with plasma during flight.

    1. Hi Openroad,
      I really like the ASP kits. A favorite was the 18mm Corporal. I've also got a few of their MMX models.
