Default Off center centering rings?

Off center centering rings?

Estes used them on the Tomcat Rocket Glider. Are there any other models using this off center ring?

I ask cause I need two of them to fit a BT-50(outside) to a BT-55(inside)

Any help here?

I dunno about other kits with offset centering rings, but if I need something like that, I just draw it up in Illustrator, print it on 110# cardstock, and laminate it to a piece of mat board. And use a really sharp XActo blade.

Hint #2: Clean your shoes after flyin' in that cow pasture - that ain't no dirt clod on the sole!

Don't recall any BT-50 to BT-55's, but there have been other sizes. Off the top of my head, the Space shuttle was extremely offset with an BT-20 into a BT-67.

That's kinda, sorta what I'm talking about.

As my hero GregP said, I'll do what he wrote. Sharp Blade=New blade!

Default Do we have any custom CR makers left?

BMS used to offer to make custom CRs for low power applications......if we don't have a vendor that offers this service, we sure need one.

The Estes Star Speeder used an offset BT-20 in a BT-55.
