I haven't really managed to do as much as I would like due to work commitments. The longer length of MMT has now arrived so I have everything required now. I did make a start by glassing the tubes. Now it's been a long time since I've worked with fibreglass and as such I'm not at all happy...

Hi Pete! Long time!! Hope you're well, good to see you're still on the forum. Here's a link; https://jcrocket.com/finbevels.shtml

I wanted to make a sanding jig, however I don't have access to power at my lock up/garage and so it was going to have to be something I could use by hand. I knocked up one of John Coker's jigs and decided with a larger flat base I could run a square sanding block along it should work. Well, it...

why not?

Look what I got... Unfortunately I'm missing a couple of vital bits. Another couple of bulkheads to make the AV bay. And I had called the vendor to change the order so I could modify to 38mm MMT however the length they've sent is too short for the fin arrangement.

Sorry about that. Beautiful cat. My parents have lost three rescue cats to the road outside and now refuse to get another. There was a lovely cat living in the ground floor apartment of my block a couple of years ago who used to like being picked up and would try to climb up you for a hug...

Interesting shaped drogue on that, I've not seen one like it before.

Very clear. And now makes sense to me that having the payload attached to the nosecone would mean the ejection charge firing the main further up into the payload tube rather than pushing it out. I also like the fact you've kept it quite smart without the added switch band etc. I think I would...

Thanks Kevin, I wasn't clear from your build thread how your dual separation worked, how do you access the payload end of the AV bay (my hands are too big to fit in a 3" tube)? I think if I was to go the dual separation route I would like to have the payload stuck to the nosecone and be able to...

Cheers Kevin. I think I will go with the pink/black combo. I’ve seen your build thread and enjoyed it. It was one of the deciding factors for purchasing this model. Can I ask about your dual deployment setup. I’ve never done dual deployment however I’ve built a couple of rockets now setup...

That's a really nice metallic finish you've achieved. I was looking at the Vulcanite last night, I may add it to my future builds wishlist as I like the shape. For what it's worth, if it was me I wouldn't even try to match, I'm sure you'll end up with something that looks right from a distance...

Have been editing an existing Rocksim file I found for the Athena. I am currently looking at maiden flight on a CTI G50 Imax, which is simming at just over 1k feet. In all likelihood my build will be a little on the heavy side due to my intentions to fibreglass. So will weigh as I go along and...

Watching with anticipation :)
