Anyone know if Galactic Manufacturing is still in business?
I *highly* recommend the Eggtimer Dual Deploy rocket kit. It comes with 29mm motor mount, but I'm thinking of building a 38mm lower.I'm on the road to a level 3 certification. I'll post about that in a future separate thread.
I bought an upscale kit for a 3" Estes Bandit and picked up the kit up today at my mail box.
The recommendation is to buy a 3" Der Big Red Max kit (which I did for my upscale 3" Citation Patriot bought last year) and to cannabolize the Red Max kit for some of its parts.
The Estes 3" Red Max kit appears to be too nice and I have extra parts I bought from Apogee Components with the intension to use for the 3" Bandit and Citation Patriot. Apogee sells 3" tubing cut for three fins that fits perfectly.

I'm scratch building 3" diameter rockets to get familiar with dual deployment for a future level 3 cert.
The cost of Ammonium perchlorate is keeping my projects to 29 mm and 38 mm rockets for now.
Galactic sells just a fin and centering ring set for 29 mm only. Will there be an option to buy the same set for a 38 mm motor mount?
Why don't you ask Galactic Manufacturing? You might be able to get the rings if you ask them. No promises.Will there be an option to buy the same set for a 38 mm motor mount?
Nice build. What did they do for the nose cone?Here's the upscale Citation Patriot I built with Galactic Manufacturing parts:

Consider it done. Thank you.Why don't you ask Galactic Manufacturing? You might be able to get the rings if you ask them. No promises.
You may blame me for that. As an FYI you can find the finishing process for that particular scheme at the 38:39 point of this video:Just ordered their 3" upscale Alpha. Mostly because the picture on their website had it dressed in Gulf livery. [grin]
Yes, I will be giving it that paint scheme.
