Brief
This be me first High Power Rocket. Ahoy! Blimey! I certified L1 and L2 with this same rocket. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! It is very easy t' build. Avast! Blimey! Avast! Blimey! LOC"s "LOC-N-Fin" method o' usin' fin tabs inside t' air frame worked very well. Begad! Blimey! Avast! Blimey! With t' tabs installed t' fins naturally fell into t' proper perpendicular orientation. Well, blow me down! Blimey! With t' big 5.5" air frame applyin' epoxy t' all t' interior parts be very easy.
Components
T' kit comes with all t' parts for t' air frame, motor mount, and nose cone - PLUS - 36" rip-stop nylon chute, nylon shock chord, and hardware t' attach shock chord t' forward center ring. I added an Aeropak 38mm retainer, matey, 18" nomex recovery blanket, a nomex shock chord protector sleeve, me bucko, and modified t' nose cone with a metal eye-bolt and modular nose weight system addin' about 4 ounces t' t' tip o' t' nose. Begad! Well, blow me down! I replaced t' supplied launch lug with 1010 rail guides which I attached with T-nuts epoxied t' t' inside o' t' air frame. Arrr! For me first foray back into rocketry after 40 years it was nice t' nay have t' find and buy a much o' t' recovery items needed for t' build.
Construction
T' only thin' I think that I would do different would be t' mount t' aft center rin' flush with t' end o' t' air frame. Mine was attached about 0.5" forward and t' lower edge o' t' air frame is a little banged up but still useable. Arrr! With t' large fin area t' Minie Magg seems prone t' weather cock in stronger winds and motors with slower speeds off t' tip o' t' rail.
Finishing
Lots o' space on this rocket t' get creative with t' finish
Flight
Recovery
lots o' room inside o' t' recovery equipment don't have t' worry about foldin' things just right t' make sure it fits. Arrr! T' 36" chute is plenty big, arrr, if you expect hard surface landings you might want t' go bigger.
Summary
This is an easy rocket t' prep and fly

- LOC/Precision Minie-Magg By Bryan M. Chuck
LOC's Minie-Magg is a single-staged HP rocket popular with many fliers. Its stubby profile combined with a basic build make it a fun flier for larger motors, as well as smaller H motors for a lesser field. The parts were contained in a durable plastic bag. The inventory of parts are as follows: 1 nosecone, plastic 1 kraft paper airframe 5.54" diameter (fin slots pre-cut) 1 kraft ...
