Ok, I am wondering if it is just me, but do any of you have a least favorite step in the finishing or building process? If so, why?
My least favorite step is sanding and sealing and sanding and sealing...etc. It is a very time consuming step and is the part I dread the most when finishing a kit.
There are very few rockets in my fleet that undergo sanding and sealing treatment. The funniest thing is that the rockets that get extra attention to detail are usually the rockets that don't get flown much because I am afraid of losing or damaging them. (It doesn't help when the rocket is white. Black soot from the exhaust on the ignitor clips leave great fingerprints on glossy white paint jobs.)
Anyways, I enjoy the flight part of rocketry the best. Gimme a brown tube and some bare wood and I'm good to go.
So is there any part of the rocket building process that you dislike?
