Hi folks,
Too much of my time on the forum recently has been devoted to threads about who got banned and why, or whether or not SuperGirl should wear a cape and tights....
So this weekend, I went out and launched rockets. Eventually I'll put up some pics.
And today, I worked on my Starship Excalibur build, that's been on hold for a while, and I'll start documenting it here. Sort of improving my own signal to noise ratio.
Starship Excalibur is one of my favorite old Estes DOM (Design Of the Month) designs.
Here is the parts spread:
The motor mount assembly was textbook, though I added a thrust ring for good measure. The kit only had the motor clip, and I don't like risking the motor tube ripping where the motor hook sticks through.
Stay tuned. The thread will continue, though I've got lots going on with life right now. In the next installment, I'll botch the fins, but recover with some grace...
