One o' t' three MPC / round 2 Star Trek model rocket kits.

First thin' first, matey, power. Begad! My edited RocSim file said this rocket would fall back t' t' ground on an A motor, about 150 ft on a B6-4, and 250 on a C6-3. Well, blow me down! Parachute deployment was way lower than I liked. Begad! So modifyin' t' fincan for 24mm motors seemed like a good idea. 

T' first thin' that needed t' be done was t' modify t' existin' engine retainer. I decided I like t' stock look, me hearties, so simply removin' its internals was t' chosen course o' action.

Next I needed t' modify an Estes 24 millimeter motor retainer. Arrr! I took it from picture 3 too picture number 4.

Eventually, me bucko, after I glue t' two pieces together with epoxy, it will look like this next picture.

And here is that glued together assembly. Begad! I masked up t' non glued areas t' prevent excess epoxy.

Here we have t' new 24 millimeter motor mount tube. Avast! I had t' make a new pair o' centerin' rings t' fit it into t' fincan.

Mock up o' me motor mount assembly prior t' gluin' it in. T' hollow Q tip shaft be t' pass through for t' Keelhaul®©™ shock cord.

And here be t' completed fin can assembly. Avast, me proud beauty! For alignment purposes, t' lower body tube needed t' be added t' this assembly stage. This was because t' lower centerin' rin' be outside diameter sized t' fit inside o' t' first can. Arrr! T' upper centerin' rin' was sized t' fit inside t' body tube, which happens t' be about 1/8 o' an inch bigger then t' inside o' t' fin can.

Movin' on, we now need t' assemble t' main body.

That grey tube coupler gets inserted betwixt t' two pieces o' body tube. Avast, me proud beauty! T' instructions call for usin' plastic model cement. Because I epoxied motor mount together, I decided that epoxin' that joint together would be a good idea too. Ahoy! Next we have t' fins.

T' first picture above, is where I dry fit t' fins onto t' fin can. Blimey! I don't like that gap at t' top o' t' fins. Begad! So I decided t' pull t' top in a little bit with a rubber band, picture number 2. I got impatient and didn't mask off t' epoxy, so it got a little messy.

Applyin' t' launch lugs t' t' body tube was easy. Just glue them on t' t' seam in t' outer label.

.

Next be t' last flight step, t' parachute. T' existin' shroud lines broke while I was assemblin' t' chute, so I had t' sub in a replacement.

And here be t' finished parachute.

And here it is finished. Arrr! Blimey! This is by no means a difficult kit, ya bilge rat, I would nay classify it as a skill level 2, me bucko, as a matter o' fact t' MPC labelin' states that this kit is for ages 10 and up.
