I needed an easy sport flyer for 29mm motors as my Arreaux is aging. This kit goes together so fast! Here's the AeroPack motor retainer end:
And the forward end:
And the overview of the motor tube assembly:
And, using this stupidly simple masking tape rig, I was able to tack all 6 fins to the motor tube at one time. Big fan!:
And these last two pics complete the assembly. I forgot to take them before flying this three times on Saturday so that's why the white tail end epoxy looks soiled:
And no the top fins are not tilted. Chalk that up to wide-angle lens distortion. Now onto finishing...

Should be a screamer! You going out for March? Are you going to fly LDRS?
Flatresponse, I'm not clear on why you deleted your question "Is the RA29P retainer the best fit for this one? Got a DarkStar lite on the way, and should probably get around to ordering an Aeropack soon... :) " but the answer is yes the phenolic version of the retainer is the right one for this fiberglass motor tube.
Oops, I think that was a clicking error! Regardless, thanks for the tip!
