    Thor Agena B Started

    I've just started a clone build of the Estes
    THOR AGENA B
    on my blog at:
    www.modelrocketbuilding.blogspot.com

    I'll be doing a lot of detailing (as per the Estes instructions) of the Vernier nozzles.
    The fin unit won't be a clear plastic, but a slide on unit, removable for display.

    Cool. I'll probably be following this.
    Are you planning on coming to the July or August TTRA launches? I'll have another, much more impressive card stock Saturn 1 rocket, that isn't lacking nose weight! (A Saturn 1 SA-5 this time.)

    Hey now I know who you are, the cardstock Saturn 1 was great!
    I'll try to get to as many club launches as I can, but I'm back in the loop working the cruise ships again. The ships tend to book entertainment at the last mnute (just a few days out) so I never know my schedule.
    I might be there - who knows!

    Thanks Fred!
    The blog usually gets two new posts per day.
    If I'm away from home (on a ship) some days don't get a posting. I'm at the mercy of the ship satellite internet connection.
    But, the builds continue. I have about 100 posts in a draft form so I should have something to post if I get stuck.
