Saturn V interstage mask - about 1-1/2 hour of masking...
I received packages today from both eRockets & BMS containing:
View attachment 264235 among a few other odds and ends. I also wrote most of the assembly instructions for the Noctua kit I'm preparing for my nephew. I think we tend to take how to put together a LPR rocket - at least until trying to write down what to do. There are a lot more step to detail then I realized!
I'm glad it worked! My only advice (from personal experience) is if you're packing the parachute in the NC cavity, make sure that the length of the shock cord measured from the parachute attachment point to the base of the NC is as long/longer than the extended length of the parachute and its shroud lines. If it's not, the cord can go taught and not pull out the parachute. This may just be common sense, but I had to learn it from experience :lol:
I thought the Fat Boy was OOP? Unless you mean the mini?launched some rockets- tested out my new HD 808 camera, plus also taught my 6 year old son how to put igniters in engines and connect the leads from the controller. Also started building 2 Estes Fat Boys for my kids to paint and fly.

Built an adjustable rocket cradle for my HPR fleet.
Handles everything from the smallest to the largest and disassembles for easy stowage in the trunk of my car.

Nice job, Top.Paint.
Grey, Red and White are a cool lookin' combo.

That looks sharp Dave. Three engines and those long front fins ought to make stability tricky, eh?
Today, I sent off a box to kruegon, masked off my Taros & Scorpius clones to further their paint work, and started priming my BT60 NASA Pegasus. Oh, and I cut a 1/4" off the front of my Advanced Target Drone clone due to a very short zipper and crushed tube end on its last flight. Looks perfect now, except that the cutting guide destroyed the white stripes on the nose end. I'll have to repaint that bit. Next, I will start reorganizing my bins of parts. My motor mount collection has graduated to the next larger container, and a few others will be moving upstream in its wake...
Got to work on a Craigslist score that I picked up last week. I got these partially finished rockets and six Estes and Quest ARFs for twenty-five dollars. Started finishing work on the Big Daddy and flew three of the ARFs in the back yard.
