 |
 |
| |
|
| THE AIRFRAME |
 |
 |
 |
| Both pieces of airframe get glassed, Aerosleeves sock with Aeropoxy laminating system. Nothing but
the best for this baby. Then we just add a layer of chocolate filler to the glassed airframe. Well we have actually used
Aeropoxy Light, a lightweight aerospace filler. |

|
| THE FIN CAN |
 |
 |
|
| The fin assembly starts to look like a rocket. Initially secured with JB Weld and then a massive internal
fillet of Aeropoxy structural glue with milled fibres in it for added strength. |
| |
|
| THE MOTOR MOUNT ASSEMBLY |
 |
 |
 |
| The thrust centre ring is a crucial part so we take lots of time and care with this.
The first step was to put rub down and epoxy the centre ring in place on the back. Then we laid some carbon fibre toe and some
more epoxy. Then some fibre glass tape and some laminating epoxy. |

|
| THE SWAPPABLE MOTOR MOUNT ASSEMBLY |
 |
 |
 |
| The entire motor mount assembly is swappable. This allows different back end configurations
to be built allowing the use of single or clustered engines within the rocket. The rear end is held in place by 8 stainless 3hex bolts and t-rivets crimped into the rear thrust plate.
