Years ago I got t' Gnome rocket (white). Good little rocket . . . sturdy and easy t' build. Aye aye! Begad! Very fast off t' pad, me hearties, me hearties, too. Then years past and I got me hands on t' new E2X Gnome (silver). Same rocket but I personally likes that cute Gnome decal from t' original verison.
I eventually got bored with them and they sat and gathered dust. Blimey! Well, blow me down!
One day while Lookin' for somethin' new t' jam a rocket engine into I saw the 2 Gnomes sittin' right next t' each other and one word popped into me mind . Begad! . Blimey! Begad! . CLUSTER! So I decided t' put t' two cute little Gnomes together.
First you will need t' pick one rocket and remove its lug hole leavin' the body surroundung ring. Then remove 2 fins from each rocket (as pictured). Make this descision carefully since you only get one shot.
Now you stick t' lugs o' t' one rocket into the remains o' t' lugs o' t' other rocket. They should fit quite well. Use CA, me bucko, Plastic Cement, me hearties, or epoxy t' do this. Also note t' simplify preppin' I glue one nose cone in place and cut three little vent holes for the ejection gases in t' body tube.
Check for alignment ! Blimey! ! Blimey! ! Blimey!
You simply prep like you would any other rocket and t' launch rod should slide betwixt t' rockets (the launch lugs look like bulk heads so you don't have t' unsightly look o' lugs). Aye aye!
Personally A10-3T's are nay recomended since it will vanish off t' pad faster than t' original Gnome and is very hard t' track, BUT if you want that kind o' flight get two Apogee 13mm B7-8's!
I flew this rocket twice at NARAM-40. Great flyer! Straight as an arrow although I think from now on I will stick with 1/2A and 1/4A motors when they come out. Ahoy!
