This is going to be a great Rocket - as Tim would say - it can take anything you can shove in it. Should be a limitless engine choice!following

Hey,,
Sandy's sister Nancy is getting engaged..
They were all coming here on Thursday from Florida for a 4 day fun fest..
Then Nancy went on his Facebook account..
There's this woman friend..
She was dressed quite scantily...
He clicked "Like" and said some complimentary things to her..
Now we may be cleaning up the backyard this weekend for nothing,, lol...

Nancy grabbed his ass when he got home yesterday....

My wife said " he's getting a freakin time out mister",, lol...

Proline 4500 fillets mixed at 25:4 grams, one batch per fillet. Used slightly less in each, but not enough wasted that I'm worried about it.

two sets down... one set to go tonight, then it's just paint and av-bay.
 
In primer....

using a fine 3M sanding sponge to very very lightly smooth out the primer without cutting through it. Just enough to knock off the rough and make things smooth.

So, My plan to fly this weekend got tossed into a bit of a tailspin. However, progress continues and when the time is right, and all things line up, then it will fly.

No glue on the nose. Usual threaded rod setup here-

Also got some paint on her.

Just realized I never updated for paint. Vent band still needs paint, but it's a bit snowy outside so that'll have to wait.

Pretty rocket David but what's ya doing for tracking? It will disappear quickly in a blue sky. But then again, whatever you paint it it's going to disappear once it's up there. Kurt

Depends on the light really. At those heights you're more likely to see it as a shadow anyways, and the trail of tracking smoke. Again the smoke is better if it's backlit. As for under descent, the chute is multicolor and bright/dark. Blue stands out really well in trees/ground.
 
12, 5, 4, 4, and 18 months...

here's everyone with my parents.... SUPER thrilled about the cold

Ummmmm, M2550? I 'spect you'd see a smoke trail and I hope the smoke burns long. Blue sky? Gonna disappear.
Overcast? Well if the the cloud level is relatively low or the ceiling "miscalculated" could still disappear. Largest
main chute that is multicolor helps a lot and depending on the venue, blowing the main up a little higher would give a chance for full opening if the process turns out to be slow. Chute blanket or D-bag? Kurt

honestly I have no illusions of seeing this thing. My screech, darkstar, and villain have all been out of sight in the first second of flight.
