Default Estes Python?
I need some help. I was given a set of fins (4), two sections of body tubes and an plastic coupler, plus some sticky decals. No nose cone or engine mounts. The fins look to be from the
OOP Estes Python kit. What is the BT size, and whatsize nosecone can I put on this? I'm just going to build something out of it, with the fins, add some strakes, and come up with a 24mmt for it. JimZ's site doesn't have it listed. I'm going to see if the person has the plans. (I sure hope so).

Thanks!

Jack

If someone has these plans/decals/templates, etc, please send the scans to me as well so I can post them on YORP.

Let me check. I have one unbuilt opened may take a day or two to find this kit.

FYI
I sent in decals in white and blue decal paper waterslide for the Alpha III.

Jack,

I downloaded the plans from the Estes site before the makeover. I'll email them to you (too big to post here.)

BT is BT60. Recommended motors were the D12-5 and D12-7.

Thumbs up Thank You
Ok, got it, BT 60. Now to make up some centering rings ang a MMT, and secure a nice long nose cone.

I got the decals, last night, from the person who gave me the parts.
LTV Scout, do you want me to send them to Buzz for scanning? Send them to Phred?

Thank You for the replies and help. I appreciate it.

Jack

Jack,

If you don't mind mailing them to Buzz if you don't have a scanner, that would be great. You can contact him for his snail mail info.

Wait, are you talking about the Python 4 ASRAMM? That is a BT-55 that uses 18mm motors.

The Python from 1996 is NOT a BT-60. It is a special tube that is 1.84" or so OD.
