I did the fillets tonight and glued the tip fins on. I will put small fillets on those later.View attachment 475611View attachment 475612View attachment 475613View attachment 475614

Great build thread and, what a cool kit. I was wondering why you are using a four(4) rail button configuration? Have not seen that used before.

1010 and 1515. Comes with 1515 but 1010 should work just fine. Our club runs mostly just 1010 rails. I added the 1515 just in case.

Got the fillets on the tip fins finished today. Strong as hell.

Good job. I'd be interested to know if the T fins reduce spin compared with, say, a Warlock or Doorknob flown in similar conditions. I suppose a drag race might settle the issue.

Cool build. Why rail buttons set off to the side. Do I see 2 sets?

I don't think they would reduce spin, but that's just a guess.

Redoing it with blue as we speak.

Thanks. I really want to do one like your avatar. This would be a good candidate.

I love that rocket and fully intend to copy it sometime.

Heck ya! I’d be flattered! Hehe these big 7.6” loc kits can be an art canvas once built!

Great paint job. You have given me inspiration.

Yes she is.

 

[bobbyg23]

Much better!

Very nice job!!

what motor are you thinking of using first? K1000 to match the blue paint?

Not sure what the first flight will be on yet.

 

[bobbyg23]

Hmmmm. I like it.

Since I am making the top half removable for access, I needed to cover the screws so the recovery hardware wouldn't catch on anything. I added these to cover the screws.

Awesome work

 

[bobbyg23]

Little less bp needed

 

[NateB]

For some reason my eyes saw the L and B and I though, well of course 5 lbs of BP was plenty, that would be enough to launch the whole rocket in the air.

In my Warlock I use 2.5 works fine

That would be fun to watch

This one has at least 15" more body than the warlock. I think 4g will be perfect

I guess run another test 4g is still a lot of bp.
