BMS School Rocket, Build, Part 1, Parts



Parts are clean and ready for assembly without too much prep.

To the right is the nose cone with a hardwood dowel insert.
With the dowel glued in the pre-drilled hole, the screw eye will not easily pull out. 


The main airframe tube (shown above) has laser cut fin slots.

On the left is the 3/16" diameter launch lug. The 3/16" lug was used to make it easier for a younger flyer to slide the rocket down a 1/8" launch rod. 

The engine mount tube has light laser cut lines for the centering ring positions. The square cutout is for the Kevlar tie.
