North Coast Rocketry - Tempest 2 Kit

Accordin' t' Matt Steele, shiver me timbers, "After t' initial release o' kits for t' North Coast Rocketry by Estes in 1996, shiver me timbers, work began on a set o' follow-on releases. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! Blimey! One o' t' kits bein' developed be t' NCR Tempest 2, arrr, based on t' earlier Tempest kit produced by NCR in t' 1994-95 timeframe. Ahoy! Blimey! T' Tempest 2 was targeted t' be a low-cost introductory level kit, matey, ya bilge rat, me bucko, perhaps t' be placed in a starter set. Begad! Blimey! T' Tempest 2 used a fin design similar t' t' original Tempest fin design, but was designed around a new Estes 2.0” diameter tube. Aye aye! Blimey! T' kit was t' use a new blow-molded plastic nose cone. Blimey! Blimey! T' design was t' incorporate thru-the-wall fins and t' NCR motor retainer. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Ahoy! Blimey! With a super lightweight design, it was designed t' take full advantage o' t' Dark Star F62-9 and G70-10 composite motors that were also scheduled for release. Aye aye! Blimey! This kit was never released."
