Well,
I final got approval from my TAP to start building. I'm building a 4", 75mm Frenzy that I bought, ironically enough, at last year's Madcow Black Friday sale.
I'm planning to fly on either a CTI M840 or an AT M1297. I'm pretty bad about taking pictures during a build, so I'm making an attempt at that this time. Here is the first batch. I'm also building a 4" Competitor 4 with a 75mm mount at the same time. They are similar enough and will help keep it from sitting for another 6-8 months.
I'm using Aeropoxy 6209 for the MMT, but I've switched to 6279 for the fin attachment and the outer fillets.
Start of the motor mount and AP retainer
Same for the Competitor
Attachment of the shock cord on the competitor
The shock cord is tubular kevlar and the end under the second centering ring has a dowel rod embedded and sewn ends. This along with the epoxy will be strong enough but clean.
Both motor mounts completed
Initial attachment of the fins
Almost done with fin attachment:
Ready for outer fillets:
Fillets on the Competitor:
Fillets on the Frenzy:
So pretty:
