Even if you carefully label and draw arrows for the connections to your electronics for the main and drogue it won't matter if you don't bother to read them. Getting main/drogue backwards wouldn't normally be too catastrophic unless...your main charge is weak, fails to get the main out at...

I've used West System epoxies without any issues, but make sure you absolutely rough up the QT thoroughly at the bonding areas. I can imagine issues with smooth or almost smooth QT.

Thanks...now I can stare at the 6" BBII for awhile. --David

Has anyone seen and have an opinion on the Black Brant II 5.5" kits available from either Polecat or Madcow? The Madcow appears to be a nicer kit, but $250 nicer? Thanks for any input. --David

A properly vented and dedicated spray paint area/booth that can be closed off after painting to keep the greeblies off your wet finish.

Only took four tries, but at least I used the same rocket each time. Only about 6" shorter than when I started. 3/3/2012, Asa, Texas.

Some White Lightning yesterday...probably my favorite.

Haven't had a soda in over a year that I can remember. I do drink tea periodically. I drink lots of coffee, water, Propel and Vitamin Water.

Bought one from JonRocket to see what I'm missing...and I've been thinking about your situation since it applies to some niche activities I've been looking at getting into. You're in the hobby, assembly-kit, realspace, flying-rocket, cluster-motor arena. (Ignoring static prebuilt.) Each step...

They're also on my list. Just haven't gotten around to ordering them due to price and my existing workload. I'll rectify that problem in the near future. :) I assume you've looked at the Fine Scale Modeler and Real Space modeling crowd angle... --David

Very nice. Do you have any internal bracing for the peg board or do just put a heavy/stiff sanding plate/surface on the peg board to do the sanding? IOW, you don't normally have your part to be sanded on the PB itself? --David

I saw your message come through the yahoo group--it's a good club. I was one of the original members (was treasurer for awhile) and then had to bow out due to work. Keep trying to get back into it though... The Asa field is unbelievable for HPR. Asa Launch Site I think that may be my...

Join the hotroc yahoo group. There's a potential launch this Saturday at the Asa field, but a front moving in may nix it. --David

Received mine--thank you!

Well, the fin can is completely closed up now. I only see one small drip of epoxy on the outside of the airframe--I must have done something wrong. Now for the external fillets--I think I'm going to mask off everything that shouldn't see epoxy otherwise that lonely drip won't be lonely by...

Paypal sent--thank you. --David

Shane, I'll take one set off your hands. Let me know your Paypal account... --David

All fins and pod-mounts are in--started internal fillets. Here's a picture with the pods and part of the upper structure dry-fitted. The fin shape on my original seems to have more of an angle than what I used for my calculations on the upscale. Does anyone know if the later Centuri Taurus...

One more fin to tack in--then internal epoxy fillets and the expanding foam.
