Well, after picking up a couple of the SNXL kits on sale at Estes as an inexpensive source of parts, I changed my mind on one of them and decided to build it with a bit of restyling.
Clipped the leading edge of the fin tubes to a 45 degree angle and added six fins in a new style. Otherwise, stock.
Will likely add a parasite glider attach point or two as well. Found the semi scale profile Boeing Sonic Cruiser glider at HobbyTown USA the other day. Looks like it will boost nicely and the skin on the glider surfaces adds enough strength do that it will likely survive the ascent.
Will probably fly it at the DARS launch in Jan.
