This is a rocket I won awhile (actually quite awhile) back for one of the design of the month contests.
Was looking for something to build and she finally came out of the closet.
The kit is really nice as the three Hot Rod Rocket Shops I won all were.
Includes both a streamer and a parachute.
The balsa for the fins is not die or laser cut, but the included pattern is on a nice piece of bond paper.
Balsa nosecone will be replaced with a plastic one.
First task was to replace the balsa fins with 1/16" basswood.
I only had a 2" wide piece on hand so the fins are a little bit different hen the face card.
Since the fins are a little different, I suspect a few other things will be a little bit more different before we're through...............
Fins are mounted and fillets are about half done with Titebond molding and trim glue.
That's it for tonight.
More later.
