No, that's how I noticed.
Oh dang !
Is it just a matter of unscrewing the buttons off and cutting /grinding the screws,or are they epoxied in ?

LOOKS WICKED!
Or call it "Running with PAINT!" It will be a TRF inside joke.

A dremel could do wonders with this...
Know ya got that, stinks ya gotta do it, but it happens.
At least you found out now instead of the launch site!!
No, I don't epoxy my rail button screws anymore. I just have to put shorter ones in. This happened to me once before.
I like it! I like it a lot!
That's one thing about fiber glass, no spirals. qquake2k it only takes 30min to fiberglass that tube. Just a couple wraps ofThanks for the compliments, guys! I'm pretty happy with it overall. But the spirals are bugging me more on this one than any of my previous builds. I should have filled them. But it's too late now, and I certainly won't see the spirals on the high power pad. But I'll know they're there, darn it!
Jim,that's a winner!Love the nose cone's red tip.Is the Apple Red?Just painted my Red Max and used that color,you need a parachute to match the paint scheme.I like it! I like it a lot!
Enjoyed following the thread, and really like the way your rocket turned out. Hopefully we'll get to see some launch photos / video soon:handshake:
Jim,I'm building a Estes Astron Sprint XL at the moment and was thinking of a different paint scheme.Would you mind if I copied yours for my build also?That's one beautiful sexy rocket.:hot:You can really see the runs on the nose cone in this light. The paint turned out okay overall. It's certainly not my worst paint job, but it's not my best, either. I'll fix the biggest boo-boos and call it good. On the plus side, I'm very happy with the color scheme and overall look of the rocket.

Thanks Jim,I putting the fins on now and then the boat tail.I have to come up with a way to mask off the nose cone. We're off to Luke's first Birthday party at a local park.Wouldn't you know it,we have a 80% chance of rain and it's been raining all morning.I guess you could say the weather people were right this time.Go figure.Of course, Carl, I think it would look great!
I like it a lot too. Very nice!
It's Shear To Please!
