Thank you. As long as you have good airflow across your work bench or table, CA glue shouldn't fog up the PST-50 half of the body tube while the two halves are being glued together. Epoxy or polyurethane glue (or even contact cement) should also bond them well.

Sheesh, I wish I knew you wanted a Phantom. I could have made you a really good deal on one given 1) You wanted it for educational purposes, and 2) You are local.

Rich,

Well.... even though I've put the other one together (except for installing a 'chute) I might still be interested in another and either way I'd like to be in touch with more rocketry enthusiasts in the area. PM me, please.
