OK, I haven't assembled a kit for many years. Last one I did was a 36" Nike which I launched 3 or 4 times and still have. Now I plan to build another Nike Ajax, 55". These questions are simple to you so no flaming.
I will be cutting my own fins, 15 in all from blank sheets of Balsa. I think I know but am looking for tips, if any on how to make accurate cuts, coating. etc.
I probably build this kit as a static display, no filght capabilities. When built in such a manner, can they easily converted to a launch capable rocket?
Any other tips about paint coatings, types, number of coats, etc. Where is a good source for launch platforms?
Thanks
