Can anyone give me some tips on cloning the Astron Space Plane? I can find most of the parts on BMS website, except the NB-30 nose block.
Is anyone familair with how motor retention works on this kit? It uses a BT-30 body, so a 18mm motor need to be retained somehow. from looking at the plans on The JimZ site. it looks like the root of the wings hold the motor in place? See http://spacemodeling.org/jimz/k-03.htm. I have seen some upscale versions, but I no interest in an upscale version. This kit ejects the motor, but you have a 18mm motor in a BT-30 tube. Looking at the plans the BT-30 is notched at the aft end and the root edge of the wings holds the motor in place.I assume the motor need some open space around to handle the ejection charge. Is there a better way to do this is my question. I am just looking for tips on how to improve this kit and still keep as orignal looking as possible.
