Build thread: New Semroc MX kits

[kuririn]

Flew the Semroc MX Hawk today.
I was trying to juggle filming with launching and pressed the launch button too early.
Good boost and good glide but you cannot see it on the video because it's so tiny.
But it glided nicely. Take my word for it.

Like trying to film a mosquito...

>At this point instructions say to sand all edges round except for the wings, which should be sanded to an airfoil shape for best results.<

By coincidence, this morning I read the chapter on boost gliders in the Handbook of Model Rocketry. Stine mentions that sanding B/G wings with a traditional aircraft airfoil is unnecessary. FWIW.

this excerpt is from the Centuri Mach 10 (boost glider) instructions... thought it was interesting as well
