White base is always good. Nose a second color, no masking, then vinyl letters and accent.
simple and good

Got the lettering ready to go. The name Fatty Finn is an Aussie cartoon strip. I got someone to create me a vector of the original font. I am contemplating whether to get it made as a decal or try and paint it on. I might go with the latter if I have enough time.White base is always good.

I will be starting on it over the XMAS breakAwesome. Thanks mate. i forgot to mention to ya that I was no longer on FB but you found me here now anyways .
Hows your project coming along?
Thank you very muchly. I am enjoying the build.Very nice build so far!
I'd like to hear exactly what you want to see in the original proposal . I assume an OR drawing, all the materials you want to use throughout the rocket, and why you chose this model?
Thanks mate. I am looking to fly at Mullaley on 29th Sept. Just a few weeks away.great build so far Brad, when will you be doing the flight?
If you cable tie lithium ion packs too tightly, you can cause them to short internally. That becomes really bad when the flight G force adds enough additional pressure to take that critical. You want the packs restrained, but not crushed. The smallest looks crushed.Whilst waiting for each of the fillets to dry, I started ont he eBay sled. First I marked out the area of the sled on some 7mm plywood. I then positioned the parts to make sure everything was going to fit. I then cut out the sled and sanded down each edge on the belt sander.
Once this was done, I drew the center line of the threaded rod the sled will attach to and marked the holes for the cable ties. I also placed all the parts back ont he board and marked the mounting holes. I then drilled all the holes and gave the sled a slight sanding to remove any sharp edges.
Then all parts were attached to the sled by cable ties or by stand offs bolted to the sled.
I then wired up each device as per the wiring diagrams in the design and loomed the wiring with cable ties to tidy up and help provide some structure.
I attached the threaded rods to the bulk heads with nylon threaded bolts on one end and attached the sled to the rods using cable ties.
I then finished the wiring by cutting and inserting each of the charge wires to the appropriate Wago connector.

Thanks Norm. I think I did that on the previous rocket. I had a closer look and I think its just in the casing. Or maybe not as I went to test the electronics yesterday and that batter is screwed. I've got a replacement for it.If you cable tie lithium ion packs too tightly, you can cause them to short internally.

Hey Brad, tip to tip glass really necessary? what's purpose? I would have assumed that the internal and external filets would have been enough?
