Estes Low Boom SST is a nice rocket, but can still be improved.
Concord like wings with 2 under wing jet engine pods. The aerodynamics are pretty good up to the point of the plastic motor retainer. I will be replacing the plastic motor retainer with a metal retainer, for a sleeker appearance and better aerodynamics, just have to rebalance for a stable C/G. Hint, hint, if you want to launch this kit with higher impulse composite 18mm motors, use epoxy instead of wood glue and replace the stock shock cord with 80lbs braided nylon fishing line, when assembling. Have fun with this chic design with D15-5s.
