Boyce Aerospace Hobbies Maxi Pershing builders kit
 
I just noticed this as new at BAH. I’ve gotta get me one!

I'm getting ready to order my Maxi Pershing 1A builder's kit, but I need a little help:

It requires a BT-101 (not included.) Is that the same BT as the 1/100 scale SV booster BT? If it is, then I have one. Also, I'm not sure what I need to get for a LOC 29mm x 8" or a 29mm HW engine mount tube. Is it paper? Is it fiberglass? Is it plastic?

Thanks.

The BT-101 is the 1/100 scale Saturn V main body tube.
As far as the LOC questions, I have no idea, but if I had to guess I would think HW Paper.

Awesome! That's one less thing I'll have to buy.

Jeff-

This should do you on the 29mm motor mount tube. It’s Semroc regular heavy walled motor mount tubing for 29mm motors. I would assume it is the same basic stuff as LOC tubing for the same application.

Excellent! Thanks for the help, guys.

My Pershing stuff is on the way! YAY!

My LOC 29mm engine mount tubing arrived today. Now I just need the stuff from BAH and I can build the Pershing! YAY!

I just realized today that my LOC engine tube order included this decal. I'm sure someone out there knows what LGAD means but I don't. Please tell me.

I can think of a few obscene translations for the acronym, but they're probably incorrect. :rolleyes:
