These files will help you make a BT-80 Miss Riley model rocket with either a 24mm or 29mm motor mount.
The tail-cone is in two parts, Part A glues to the bottom of the rocket and has a trust ring built into it. Part B is is in effect a large motor retainer. You place the motor in Part B and screw it onto Part A. A BT-50 stuffer tube will fit into Part A above the built in thrust ring. Also included is a through the wall fin template, launch lugs set out to clear the tail-cone, and the Miss Riley decal. Print the fin template at 300dpi. Print the decal as a full page on water transfer decal paper. The body tubes, centering rings, nosecone, and recovery system can all be standard Estes parts. I used two 14.2 inch long BT-80 body tubes coupled together for the body, a 24 inch BT-50 stuffer tube, and a PNC-80K nose cone. Feel free to do it your own way however, longer or shorter, enlarge or shrink the fins etc. I recommend using 2 launch lugs.
Due to the weight and placement of the tail cone you may need to add weight to the nosecone. Please test for stability before flight.
Part A should be printed upside down, with supports (but block supports around the threads). Part B should be printed right side up with no supports.
