It's not Scottish....IT"S CRAPPPPP!!!!!
The nose cone is made out of the same plastic that toys for THREE YEAR OLDS are made out of......
Had good luck with adhesion with Duplicolor "Self Etching" primer........
but really ARE YOU KIDDING AEROTECH????
You list this at $79.99?????
The fins have a built in "fillet"....no radius on the root edge....which MORE THAN NEGATES the pre "airfoiled" fin edges....how the heck are you supposed to fill the HUGE GAPS with that CLUSTER-F.......?????
The fins SHOULD NOT HAVE a built in "fillet"!
Who is the Genius behind THAT crap design????
Now to the "Fin-Loks".....
Nice idea but....CRAPPP!!!
Their theory of more strength is MORE THAN NEGATED by the limited (by design) glueable area around the Fin-Lok rings....
not to mention that the poor sloppy fit of the fins into the fin ring does ZERO ZILCH NADA NOTHING for fin alignment.......
The "Fin-Lok" rings should be a ONE PIECE UNIT!!
I started this build as prescribed in the instructions using "Medium CA" and quickly noticed that it aint worth CRAPPPP.....
so I made a few work-arounds to use epoxy....
I shouldn't have to do that with a model that lists for $80.00
I got mine for just under $50.00 and I Feel RIPPED OFF...
I bought all three of Etses' BIGGEST ROCKETS plus a smaller rocket and all together including shipping costed me $83.00...
WTF Aerotech???? ARE YOU KIDDING???? $80.00 list?????
BUT WAIT...THERES MORE!!!...
You get a "free" aluminum motor retainer....WOW!!!!
You can get one for anywhere from $11.00 to $30.00 (are you kidding??? $30.00????) each...but....
It weighs in at 1 ounce.....
OR you can use an Estes plastic motor retainer which you can get 2 of for $8.00 and it only weighs
a half an ounce.......
the math don't add up in any way shape or form.......
Get rid of that cheap plastic that you use for the nosecone.
Get rid of that false "fillet" on the fins and
make the fin-lock one piece!!!!!
Then it might be worth $35.00
As it is, the Aerotech Mustang kit is not worth a penny more than $20.00....PERIOD!!!!
BUYER BEWARE!!!!
