Whenever I order from AC Supply they send me their catalog with a beautiful photo of the Estes Red Nova on the cover. The kit is new for 2018. After seeing the one Tony V had I put it on my wish list. I started working on it last night. I found a great post on the rocketry forum from someone that built one.

It's amazing how long it takes to build even a skill level 2 rocket when you take your time to do it right and make those small modifications to make it better. I got as far as assembling the motor mount, marking up the body tube and gluing on one fin. All this while watching election results and an episode of the original Lost in Space. It was the one where Will Robinson teleports back to Earth in some small town in Vermont and brings back a much needed bottle of carbon tetrachloride.
