Ok Hojo fans... I'm going to release this unfinished sim of the Estes Honest John (1919), perhaps it'll shake something I need loose.
Since it's unfinished, the image is also unfinished. Here's the rub... No decals. It's done other than that. I need a scan (with a ruler) or a clear photograph (along with some indication of scale) of the markings for this kit so that I can fake it... A stencil font shouldn't be to hard to acceptably reproduce (at least "good enough for government use").
Here it is HoJo fans... The Estes Honest John (7240):
This one is a bear to to deal with... But, it doesn't have any tricks that would adversely affect the flight characteristics. I did adjust the location of the Laser Cut Index Stock, and the forward LL. The instructions call for placements that are based off of the location of the rear LL, instead of the back of the body tube. But the images don't match that, and it looks odd to me placed in the sim. This will get updated again when I've worked out how to sim the fins a little better. In the Developer's version of OR, I could get the wedge on the fins done right, but I'm uncertain about 15.03.
Thanks to John Boren for the info on the laser cut index stock (Mine got damaged).
Watch this space for the Estes Maxi Brute Honest John (Thanks Les!!!)
