Default NCR Tiger Shark build

I’m going through my hoard of rocket kits deciding what to keep, what to sell, and what the next build project will be. Unfortunately, the squirrels decided to make the area a winter vacation home. Apparently, they love to tear off the outer layer of cardboard boxes. Fortunately, only shipping boxes have need affected.

So, first squirrel loved kit on the build table is…. North Coast Rocketry Tiger Shark. Got this to go with my Blackhole Betty and (soon to be built) Quasar NG.

So a couple of photos before the build begins.

Finished up the motor mount and out board tubes details. Attached the Gorilla shock cord.

Next step, gluing to main body tube and then adding all the details and fins.

What a cool, unique rocket. Looks more like a Fat Cat design than an NCR. You are doing a nice job on the build.

Looks like it's pretty heavy, I'd be thinking either one of the AT G class DMS sparkies would be flashy in this rocket.

It’ll fly on FS and Gs.

Dale,

Thanks for sharing this build. Really unusual and a model I really wasn't familiar with.

Steve
