Hey Gary,, Where did you find the attachment eye you used on your piston?
Thanks,
Tom
Are you guys sanding the gel coat seam off before test fitting??? I have built a Ton of PR kits and have only ever had to give them a light sanding, Try using a pure silicone rather than all the sanding.

There was no way the nose cone of mine would even start to slid in the tube. I have had to sand so much the darker color of expoy and fiberglass is starting to show. Maybe the tube size is off a little. Its no big deal to me I have done it before but one should not have to do it. This will be a great kit to fly.

Did you try both ends of the airframe tube? Performance tubes have a slight taper for easier removal from the mandrel during manufacture. (only a few thousandths.) Mark the larger end, less sanding required.
True :wink: Forgot the tube was pre slotted.It wouldn't look as cool with the fins and NC on the same end

I disagree. It would look pretty cool but the RSO may have some questions about the stability.
Is that why nose cones don't fit sometimes?? because of a taper on the tube I did a lot of sanding to get my Gizmo XL to fit.

Also to put things in proper perspective PR probably produced more kits than all the other manufactures combined, Having produced close to 3000! kits this year alone the number of cones that may require a bit of sanding is minuscule in comparison.

That sounds dirty. It all depends on if I get mine back from paint..
As for this thread and the GIZMO XL I'd rather talk about what people are going to stuff up its rump!
For the Jan MDRA launch I'm thinking either a CTI L990BS or the L640DT?

Oooh...Go with the L640DT. I've always wanted to see one of those.
My Gizmo XL came in today. The nose cone shoulder is not out of round. I have sanded a lot of the gel coat off already. It looks like I will need to sand off most of gel coat for it to work then reinforce inside of shoulder. Why does this happen.
Thanks
Gary
