So, I see these 2 big guys taking laps around my block, and thought it must be Vinnie and Tony. I came to that conclusion from the "Chedder Head" hats and the "Kiss my Cow" bumper stickers on the car, and figured they just came from Kermie's place.
This is going to be the start of my L1 project. As many of you know from talking with me in the chat, it has taken me a while to gather the building supplies to do this rocket right.
The Rocket? It's a 4" Public Enemy Bullpup. I choose this rocket due to looks and price. Also I may want to use it to do my L2 sometime in the future.
So I bought the rocket, joined NAR, got some 4oz glass and West Systen epoxy. My brother is making me some custom vinyl Estes Bullpup decals. Midpwrguy has made me a motor retention system with a new mmt and rear cr, and my wife keeps telling me that we have other bills to pay.
Last night, I decided to glass my tubes. I had to come up with a glassing jig. Well, we had recently bought a small chest freezer and the box was still sitting there in the garage. I found a piece of PVC pipe and cut some cardboard CRs. Now I have a first rate anti-mess anti-cleanup all-in-one turn the pipe as you go glassing jig. Works better than i thought it would.
Here's a pic of my jig and glassed tubes...........Marty
