No. I'll go in and fix it and repost it. It's fixed.That will look great. Thanks for sharing.
did you mean to put that one extra line in there?

Next, sand, sand, sand.
They say the first thing to go is the memory.

I heard that once but don't remember where from.
...I'm considering painting the upper and lower fairings with thin CA. Any opinions?
Recovery will be by dual 20" chutes and a horizontal recovery harness, keeping it true to the instructions.
Instructions say to use shroud line (!!!!!!) and elastic for the harness.
I will be changing that, more later.
TBC.

No worries, my friends' initials are JLCR.
I set my releases at 200'.
Nice and slow on a grassy field on a calm day is what I'm shooting for.
With my luck the wings are still going to get damaged somehow.
Good idea for stability coming down, but wondering if a couple of extra threads near the engine pods might pose a risk to the upper rudders with the chaos of ejection.Three point harness? One forward two just inside the pods? Your caudal fins are still at risk, but keeping the bird level adds the bird’s surface area to the descent drag
BT-60, so this barely qualifies.What's the minimum size body tube you can fit one in?
Good observation.That one little spot on the body tube where the Kevlar wraps around the corner might be a good place to reinforce with a drop of CA.
For the tail attachment, a loop around the extruded motor mount segment followed by by a knot on the hook might give you a bit more security and if done right, my prevent damage from yanking on the hook suddenly.Good observation.
Like they say, great minds think alike.
I cut a small notch there, will put a spot of CA to minimize wear and tear.
Also will swipe the inside lip on the other end of the airframe.
My standard anti-zipper protocol. (Along with no zip strips).

I was also considering alternatives to tying it to the engine hook but went with the instructions.
The acid test will be how it performs in flight.
BTW how did your original fly?
Any weathercocking with the big wings?
