Vary Nicely Done Top! Great looking Sparrow AIM-7f
Thanks John.
Atleast now I know I can handle doing the paper only fins, and feel good about not using any FG.
She's still heavier than I'de like to admit, but CG is good and she should be safe to fly even if a low flier.
I know I can make it even lighter the second time I build it, as I've seen all the places where I sacrificed performance, and it's such a neat looking rocket that it deserves to fly higher than 40-50 ft.
I'm learning a lot from your techniques, and appreciate your skills, even though we don't see eye to eye on everything.
What would be the fun in that, right?
I still have a lot to learn about making these small birds as light as possible obviously, but I'm enjoying the journey, so I'm hooked!
I sanded it down quite a bit, and fixed the imperfections with paperclay instead of bondo, which was a challenge, but paperclay weighs next to nothing when it dries, so I watered some down and smoothed it into the gaps and it turned out ok.
The primer is still drying, but I should have an almost done pic' tomorrow.
