Forums › Vendor Forum › KestreL kit from 3 Dogs
3 Dogs Rocketry has a new kit, the “KestreL”. Here is the deal:
-54mm minimum diameter
-Von Karman nosecone
-nifty tailcone (see http://www.rocketryplanet.com/content/view/3219/30/)
-for a limited time, price includes a Pro54-6GXL casing (yippee!!!! 8) )
-Rigid polycarbonate fin jig
-all glass construction
-35′ of 0.25″ Kevlar shock cord
-Machined anchors for shock cord attachment
-“Duplex” bulkheads – a coupler bulkhead on one face and and an airframe bulkhead on the other face. Nice!
-Beveled fins
This is a club effort, as the jig, fins, anchors, bulkheads, etc. were worked on by NCR members. Thanks Mark, Dennis, Ed, etc. And thanks to Cesaroni for making the motor casing and tailcone possible. That’s worth ~$150 right there! Retail for the KestreL is $289, contact me offline for special NCR club pricing.

YO JOHN!
When do the think you will cut a deal with NASA and the Thiokol Corporation to give away an SRB with one of your largest kits? 😉

I have a rather large blast coming up this year. It is a secret, though – so if you tell someone, tell them not to tell anyone else 😉
THANK YOU to all who have ordered KestreLs thus far! It has gone exceedingly well. Motojoe better stock up on K300s…..
