We need to "amp up" this thread... No more boring wood pics. Once we move into cutting and painting we need more...

After considering, maybe this is what I'll get as a decal....

Now you are talking. Paint it pink. You could nickname it the Minaja Squat.

Today I received 50' of 1" Tubular Nylon from strapworks. I have to say, they are a great company. Anyways, I also have received the following items the last few days: 1515 Rail Buttons, US Composites thick epoxy system, fumed silica, chopped fiberglass strand (not sure if I will use it or not for internals though. once all the parts are in my hands I will post more updates with pictures.

I haven't had an update in a little while but I cut out the fins. Tomorrow I am cutting out the rings, making BT cuts, and cutting bulkheads.

Pics to come later but yesterday I was able to cut out 3 centering rings, and the needed bulkheads for my AV bay.

Okay, Okay fine... I guess I do need to satisfy the wants.... There is an extra ring in that pile but that's everything... I just need to get U-Bolts and I can start building.

Way to be Connor, posting the picture while I was busy doing the same thing... :no::no::no:

Finally! Sheesh! :tongue:

Oh, I want to give credit to how I cut the rings out. I followed the Team Vatsaas page's instructions for router table rings and it worked awesome and once you make one, it's as simple as just putting in a new piece of wood.

Have you ever seen a Jasper Jig? I bought one a long time ago to make a subwoofer. It is basically the same idea except that it mounts to the router.

It only cuts in 1/16" increments, but it would easier to make than a router table.

I've seen those, but have never used one.

Alright, building of da Big Boo-tay commenced at around 4:00PM EST.

The first event in tonights sequence was weighing all the parts and imputing the weights into OpenRocket in order to get a more precise simulation for this beast.

Next, I tacked on the aft CR with CA because while dry-fitting the fins, I noticed I was having issues with the MMT moving around.






Next, I put the first fin in it's location and used CA to tack in place.

And... finally, I repeated with the remaining 3 fins.




This is all I could do tonight.... I am hoping that I will get U-Bolts before work so I can install the forward CR and begin internal fillets!
