Catching up with a Tomcat
It's been a while since I've done much building of rockets - the last I posted any builds was back in 2016. Since it is now the time of year to teach my 4th and 5th grade model rocket class, I got inspired to start building again.
I went to my pile-o-things-to-be-built, and discovered a kit that I started almost 20 years ago. The Estes Tomcat hasn't been produced since 1998, and I think I got it about that time.
For some reason, I assembled the engine mount, and then put it aside into a box. Maybe the stress of the engine mount was more than I could bear. Or maybe the build pile kept growing right over it.
I think some stuff from other rockets decided to live in this box as well.
