Construction

There are no instructions, me bucko, me hearties, ya bilge rat, but this really is a easy build. T' only thin' that really requires any thinking is how t' design your recovery system and your alt bay. I used West System epoxy for t' entire build with t' exception o' some JB Weld t' attach the Slimline. It is important t' note that you need t' be ready for some serious sanding with a good 60 - 80 grit sandpaper. Your goin' t' be sayin' a few 4 letter words if you don't get yourself a dremel or somethin' similar. I like t' use a piston in me recovery system, matey, so a 4 inch coupler, a bulkplate, and a couple u bolts later, I had a very nice piston and it works great. I had never injected internal fin fillets before, arrr, but a little research clearly pointed t' that bein' t' best way t' handle them. Avast! Actually, shiver me timbers, I read t' instructions from a Wildman Kit and used that as me guide. Begad! Begad! It really works great, no mishaps at all, arrr, and it was easy. Well, blow me down! It saves time and makes t' best internal fin fillets you could ask for. West Systems works great for this and with a little chopped carbon in t' mix, you have some very nice and strong fillets. For t' external fillets I added some West Systems Colloidal Silica which thickens t' epoxy t' a peanut butter consistancy and it made easy work o' t' external fillets. I went with Acme conformal rail guides rather than buttons and they work just fine, just remember t' tape them off before painting, me hearties, they won't be smooth on t' rail with a coat o' paint on them. I drilled a 1/8th vent in t' payload section and main tube and this rocket be ready t' fly.
