Wayne- removable body tube extension with cone and chute above the extended motor casing. I'll prolly run that absurd 38-6g xl case and load just for grins and see if the the lights stay on. May be an interesting shred. No guts, no glory?

Seriously, I'm going to do that on 4 grain + motors, figured a delay long enough to pop the landry before hitting the ground would save the paint job

Not going with a cone though.

Weather here finally warmed up enough to get some painting done. Candy blue over a silver metal flake base, it turned out great

but hard to capture the true look of the finish with a camera.

A couple of years back, me and the boy made a dozen or so graphite saucer kits for folks at lucerne. They were made from 2 shells that were layed up and vacuum bagged into a wok. They were then bonded together with a motor tube. Flew great with an I or J.

Kenny,
When you get the 54mm version figured out, please let me know. I'm interested in another saucer!

Will do , going to try first with same dome size .

More of a I65 long burn or i140SK job than a 4g barn burner

Thanks warner, just wish I could capture a really good picture of the metal flake and it's sparkle.
