Another redo!

I Its my 43 year old Big Bertha, and it’s a MESS!! It’s been a great rocket and God only knows how many flights it’s had so I’m going to restore it somehow!!
The other BB is a new one I built using left over parts and materials.....FUN FUN FUN!!

Are you going to paper the fins on your new BB? Other wise grain direction =weak fins.

I’m not sure if I will yet.....the balsa sheet I used is very dense....almost like bass wood. I do wish I hadn’t done that though! I didn’t even realize I had done that until I had glued the last fin on....DUHHH!!!!!
