So, I've decided on a Madcow Terminator for L3. While not being very familiar with fiberglass , i did read the thread on epoxy, and with some West Systems, Rocketpoxy and some 120 grit paper, I feel as though it should be too difficult to get good/strong bonding.
The kit came in last week, and my first chore was unboxing and washing everything with hot water and soap. I was very impressed with the quality of the cuts, everything looked square with smooth edges. Madcow did forget to ship the tailcone CR, but was quick to ship a replacement when I let them know.
Then it was on to the MMT work. I ordered a few extra CRs for this kit, so that i could double-up where needed. The FWD CR will have (2) 1/4" stainless ubolts and will be doubled. Next 2 CRs will frame the forward fins. 4th and tailcone CR will frame the aft fins.
While I had the rocketpoxy mixed for the fwd CRs, I was able to bond the AV bay bulkheads too.
That's it for today, will let these cure overnight.
