I just built a Semroc Hawk and noticed that, because of the way it's designed, the fuselage and stabilizer gets a lot of residue, maybe a little scorching from the engine. On my last flight (#4), the fuselage broke in two at the ejection stage and I can't help but wonder if the fuselage had become weakened by the engine.
Would a small strip (or strips) of Nomex glued to the underside of the fuselage and stabilizer minimize this problem? Obviously, it'll add more weight.
One of the nice things I liked about my Estes Eagle Boost was the heat reflective tape that came with the kit. I haven't seen that in any other kits.
Can I buy heat-reflective tape anywhere instead?
Thanks,
Jim
