These are a couple of the rockets we got when we went to NARAM 54 the Sky Rise (gray rocket) is mine and the Lune-R4 (white rocket) is my wifes. We haven't had the chance to fly them yet but can't wait.View attachment 100529View attachment 100530

Gee, I have one of each of these (Lune R-1 and Lune R-4). I should pose them next to one another and post here....

Nice to see yours, Bill.
 
Is it just me, or does mine look like it has a bend to the left?
 
Perhaps a bit....whether it’s just a loose fit between the body and the nose block that forms the base of the payload section or whether the nose block itself isn’t aligned with the payload section I can’t tell from here :). It does look as if the joint between body and payload section is even, which suggests the not-quite-aligned scenario.
