Default EnerJet 1340 Rocket (NARAM-14 REVIEW)

Our first launch of 2006 is scheduled for Saturday 1/14 and I didn't think I would have my EnerJet 1340 Large Payload rocket or EnerJet Egg Crate ready in time so I finished painting and decals on this version I had started just before the Holidays.

The EnerJet News from September, 1972 has an image with a short article about the EnerJet 1340 Rocket System First Shown in this NARAM-14 review issue. It was a great year for EnerJet. I cut and posted the article clip below and the entire issue can be found here:

or here:

My version uses a custom turned solid basswood nose cone from Sandman equal to the PNC-132. I purchased five of these cones to build a few Nike-Rams with and they were turned to fit the Semroc LT-125 heavy walled tubing. Phred made the water-slide decals from a scan I sent him of the EnerJet logo decal sheet I have from AAA.

Not sure if I will use the EM-9115 engine mount for 24mm or a 5.5" length of LT-115 for 29mm. I may build one of each and make the mounts so I can secure them with a screw in the airframe above the fin can and swap mounts in the field.
