Pershing II Rebuild Part 1

About 10 Years ago I built a Pershing II based on the Estes BT-80 body tube.

 I launched the Pershing II on a D12-3 for the first time. It was a bitter sweet launch. Perfect launch and it went up straight as an arrow. Chute deployed fine, but the wind picked up about then and carried it over to the ball field. It slammed pretty hard into the chain link back stop wedging the nose cone in it. Knocked a fin off which is an easily fix, but it shattered the styrene wrap on the nose. Anyway, it proved out to be a great flyer. And from there is sat damaged for 10 years on a shelf.
