Down these mean skies, a kat must fly!
I know there's been a few build threads on this rocket already, and it's a sweet bird, but I wanted to add my version of the build as I've made a few changes to the kit that others may find useful.
First the kit, picked up for 20% off (I didn't bother trying my luck for25...) during the sale and it made it to my door about 10 days later with my Exiter (see low power build thread) which is currently sitting in primer in the garage, and a 2.6 AMRAAM which I haven't started yet. (Wanted a smaller version to my 4" PML). I've built two other Mach 1 kits prior to this batch, the prototype Portia and prototype full-sized Speed Demon. Both are great kits and exhibit a ton of quality. Steve does a great job in pre-fitting, and this kit was even better than all the other ones to date, I'll explain why below. First, the packaging. Simple, with a full color photo. All the fins came taped together and the smaller portions of the kit are in a separate bag in the larger bag.
