Thanks for the build, I almost got one of these, but decided on ordering a 4" and 7.5" cone from wildman and do a scratchbuild pershing 1A 29mm and 54mm instead. I got the decals from stickershock23 and they look great.
Looking forward for the rest.

Oh well ,just better pics of the nosecone details I added.I know.....boring ,but I hope it gets better

How much noseweight does it require?

Boring? No!
I'm enjoying the build.
Well, you know me, I had to add some detail to the nosecone.I found some good detail pics of the real Pers II and had to add the following details to base and tips of the forward fins.
I used matte board and epoxied the parts to the NC then soaked them in superthin CA.
Looks good enough.

What engine you think the first flight will be?
We always the pictures too!
I`m not really sure yet.I`ll have to balance and weigh it first ,then go from there ,but I`m thinking maybe a large H then an I (a Sparky I me thinks)
But alas ,thus will have to wait for our next HP event ,some time in spring.Our club just barely got a HP event last week ,due to high winds and was cut short ,but good flights were had !
Cheers

Here is the aft body tube ,and the fins being inserted.It`s nice having a bigger 5.5 BT to add epoxy fillets to the internal fins.

That's a very creative use of the angled aluminum.
I've seen the aluminum angle used to align fins going up the air frame, but I haven't seen it used to go across the air frame.
Very nicely done!
Really nice project.
Bet that will be a hoot on a sparky.
