Thanks for the video. One of my tricks... "Paint" the entire nosecone with a Sharpie pen, then sand it off, across the mold line using 220. If you see the ink, you need to keep sanding, after sanding with 220, I then go to finer grades. I also find that wet sanding seems to do the best.
I’m currently building this now and wondered about the motor mount. This rocket doesn’t seem to have a “back” or “top” to the mount that would keep the motor from shooting out the top unlike other kits that have the green ring inside the motor tube. How is it held in? Just by tight tension?
It is intended primarily for use with 29 mm composite motors, which have an aft thrust ring built in (it gets caught between the motor mount opening and the retaining ring). For 29 mm black powder motors, you need to use masking tape.
Jerry wants his "Riggins" back when your done! 😱😝😁🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇲
Sometimes with multiple launch lugs I'll run the launch rod through them while the glue is drying to make sure they are straight. Great video.
I often do that as well.

Great work. I really appreciate the videos. Very helpful!!!
Thanks for watching
Great video! I picked up some skills watching it. The only thing that I do differently on the internal fillets is use medium CA.

You can use a gum eraser to clean sandpaper pores.
I recently bought a great big one for that very purpose.
