Thanks so much for your hard work and feedback. She looks even better with the booster than she did as a single stage.

It's time to get some more fins cut and instructions revised. Woo Hoo! My first two stage kit.

Now about my free night's stay in Cape Byron???

Better Cape Byron than the farm. The woodshed is a bit draughty...

After I finish the rest of the paint and striping, I may take a marker or something and highlight the greebles.

Have you tried a Panel Line Accent Colour? Use an enamel over acrylic and vice versa. Thin as water, capillary action makes it hold to the edges and joins. Easy to apply with the brush in the lid and add more if needed. This is Tamiya, but most of the other model paint companies make them as well.

Launched the Yalga twice yesterday
First flight the C6-0 (from the 70's) CATO'd right off the pad but lit the C6-7 sustainer to 210m (690')








Second flight was a C6-0 to B4-6. Perfect to 290m (939')

Impressive the booster survived the CATO. A real greeble shaker!
