What rocket is this

[Jeff Curtis]

I did a level 1 with this rocket around 2000. Must have been Tripoli as there is no sign of an L1 with NAR. I suspect it may be an NCR kit. Any ideas what this is? Also, no sign of the brackets for retention. I was think of doing a certification flight at NSL this weekend. The nuts are too close to the body tube to use washers. I may have to tape the motor to the motor tube. I'm certainly open to suggestions.

Looks like an upscale of the Estes Sea Strike D

Kaplow clips, mirror clips or equivalent. Bend to shape

Concur with the comments above. Not a North Coast Rocketry kit, but an upscale. A single stage Sea Strike or an homage to the design.

Rocket R&D had a 4" and 2.6" Navy Strike, and I think that's what we are looking at here.

Looked over the rocket again and it was in rougher shape than I realized. Plus it didn't have TTW fins. So I bought a Loc Semper Fi and will use it to get an L1 certification.
