North Coast Rocketry - Tempest 2 Kit

Accordin' t' Matt Steele, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, "After t' initial release o' kits for t' North Coast Rocketry by Estes in 1996, ya bilge rat, work began on a set o' follow-on releases. Arrr! One o' t' kits bein' developed was t' NCR Tempest 2, based on t' earlier Tempest kit produced by NCR in t' 1994-95 timeframe. Well, blow me down! Arrr! T' Tempest 2 was targeted t' be a low-cost introductory level kit, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, perhaps t' be placed in a starter set. Ya scallywag! Ahoy! T' Tempest 2 used a fin design similar t' t' original Tempest fin design, matey, but was designed around a new Estes 2.0” diameter tube. Ahoy! T' kit was t' use a new blow-molded plastic nose cone. Begad! T' design was t' incorporate thru-the-wall fins and t' NCR motor retainer. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! With a super lightweight design, shiver me timbers, it was designed t' take full advantage o' t' Dark Star F62-9 and G70-10 composite motors that were also scheduled for release. This kit be never released."
