Estes - Deep Space Transport (#2034) Gallery

Well lets see where'd I stop....Starship Vega.

Next up was what I do with HOJO nosecones LOL! A micro Deep Space Transport. at T2+ it was to small to make it a 3 motor cluster.. i've been considering Uping the Core to T-3 and adding T2+ boosters to the next version As it is in Miminim diameter it like the interceptor and Vega are out-a-sight before you can snap your neck

To be honest this should have been the First post for this model Gallery! After all it is the ESTES Deep Space Transport Gallery.

Estes full Size Deep Space Transport kit just Screamers to be an in-line 3 motor cluster.
Regardless of the bag Art I just couldn't paint another White model rocket
So Heres what I did with mine Deep Space Transport and the way I've flown it ever since.
This Rocket has more then 30- 3 motor flights on it, Mostly 2- C6-0's in the boosters with a C6-5 or C6-7 in the core. It also does very well with 2- B6-0's and a B6-6 core.
While the Booster nozzle edges are a bit charred i've still not seen any signs of bodytube burn through or other weakening of the mostly Stock materials.
I did coat the interior upper portions of the booster tubes with medium CA and a very light coat of 5minute epoxy as I installed the Balsa plugs fitted with bottom covering epoxy mounted 22ga Stainless steel burn thur perventer discs.
Both booster motors are friction fitted and DO eject at burn through....No matter how much tape is used they produce enough heat and pressure to eject.
She started out with a Chrome silver finish but the moment I tried to clear coat it...well it immediately turned to the Grey it remains.
Flying is always done from one of my RELAY ignition systems with a strong 12V battery at the launcher and custom home made igniters. I Haven't yet but will in the future fly this model with Quest Q2g2 igniters.
Single motor or all the in-line clusters DST is always a fun flying rocket.
