Default Estes Green Eggs build

Estes recently released an egg lofter called Green Eggs as a bulk pack. The Green Eggs is a BT-65-based single egg lofter with a 24mm motor mount for C11s and D12s but not Es.

For those of us who don’t need a dozen of them, eRockets is selling them individually. I received one the other day. Here is a build thread of sorts. At this time the model is structurally complete but no sealer or paint is yet applied.

To get it out of the way: for this one I opted NOT to change the stock motor mount to take E12s. Maybe next time.

So, let’s get started. The instructions are posted on the Estes site (though not, at this writing, where the instructions are grouped, but from the product page). https://estesrockets.com/wp-content..._GREEN_EGGS.pdf

First the obligatory package and parts laid out pictures. As you can see, one of the interesting features is the 5-inch-long green translucent payload section tube.
