Last night, helped my younger son finish construction on his thing-a-ma-jig. Kinda gave up on my older son working on his last night. He was more interested in watching t.v. (did get him to sand the glassine off his BT and glue the dowel and screw eye into the NC)
After they went to bed, I did a bit of work on mine:
Treated the NC with thin CA. (and glued my nitrile glove to the shoulder in the process.)
Reinforced the forward body tube with thin CA
Lightly sanded and glued up the fin-jig fins
Glued in the MMT
Coated the fins with CWF
Trimmed and glued on the launch lug
Assembled the parachute
Still to do:
Sand down the CWF on the fins
Final sanding / shaping on the NC
Glue on the fins
Decorate the rocket
