I have completed assembly of the fourth and final member of the Estes PSII E2X model line, the Trajector.

The listed weight/mass of the model w/o motor is 10.7 oz. As usual, mine turned out a little heavier at 11.4 oz. Some of that is due to my addition of a Semroc EB-20 ejecton baffle.

The model uses the Ascender fins just turned around 180 degrees. The nose cone is from the discontinued Interceptor E kit.

Speaking of the nose cone, it comes pre-assembled, painted and detailed. Nice. There are two packages of clay included in the kit which the builder must pack into the nose cone. I over did it and actually split the nose cone open on the bottom seam while packing in the clay. After cleaning the clay out of the seam I reglued the nose cone with Plasti-Zap CA which fixed the problem.

First flight will be next Saturday on an Estes E16-4 motor.
