That ought to work.

The launch lug on the Alpha (and the body tube itself) are the only individual parts that have been unchanged for the whole 52+ year run of the Alpha from the first K-25 to the current version of 1225.


Love David's comments.

As to Astronwolf's: The judges in Classic Model, as in other craftsmanship events, use the data provided by the contestant against which to judge the model. In Classic Model in particular, it's the catalog or face card illustration that they mainly go by (or so it was at NARAM-60). Most of these don't even show a launch lug....

Doug: As near as I can tell the judges at NARAM-60 didn't look inside - or they would have seen the length of kevlar I had between the shock cord mount and the rubber shock cord in my entry. There are no judging criteria for the internals....it's how well it matches outline and color on the outside that they are looking at.
