North Coast Rocketry - Tempest 2 Kit

Accordin' t' Matt Steele, me hearties, "After t' initial release o' kits for t' North Coast Rocketry by Estes in 1996, work began on a set o' follow-on releases. Begad! 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. Arrr! T' Tempest 2 was targeted t' be a low-cost introductory level kit, me hearties, perhaps t' be placed in a starter set. Begad! T' Tempest 2 used a fin design similar t' t' original Tempest fin design, but was designed around a new Estes 2.0” diameter tube. T' kit be t' use a new blow-molded plastic nose cone. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast! T' design was t' incorporate thru-the-wall fins and t' NCR motor retainer. Avast! With a super lightweight design, shiver me timbers, 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. Avast! This kit was never released."
