How to paint my Batray?

What? No flight report from the field yet?

And don't give us that bogus "My cellphone had no reception" line either.

Maybe it just ran out of power. Or Commissioner Gordon needed it to make an Emergency call...

(Also, I think he means next saturday )

Saturday November 1st... The wait just may kill me

Well, if you've got until November 1st, then you've got plenty of time to try the silver tip, find it doesn't work, sand everything away again, and repaint it back again to what you have now.

DON'T Listen to him! Down that path lies madness!

Honestly, I'd leave it as is for now. It looks great. If you really want a silver tip, add it after the maiden flight (as a reward for coming home safely.) Make that rocket earn its final paint detail.

Hey, it's Batray and Robin!

Great work! Makes me want one.

WOW! That came out wicked nice!

First Flight of the Super Batray... CTI 38mm, 3-Grain, I-180-Skidmark. 9-second delay (a touch long), and I added .5 grams BP to the charge just to be safe. Looked like everything was perfect. Recovered with a little field rash; a chunk of paint came off the top of the body tube in flakes. Probably due to chute dragging it a little in the field since there was no other damage to the tube. Great flight, lots of compliments on the paint. Thanks everyone for your support!

It certainly was and still is a beautiful looking rocket. It was nice you meet you as well!

I don't know if I would have painted the whole rocket. Maybe just the areas you planed on masking for the redlines
