Fillets will be done tomorrow hopefully.

Looks good! Are you planning to test fly this next weekend in Petitcodiac?

 

[TRFfan]

No i dont think so because the electronics and nosecone will not be done by then, maybe in a month or two. I hope to make it out to Petitcodiac in late may or early june to launch some rockets..

 

[TRFfan]

Fillets done. Now left out to dry.

When you do pull your next set of fillets, you might consider using masking tape as a guide. They will come out much straighter. What did you use to pull the JBweld?

I used scotch tape. When i pulled it off, a little bit of glue came onto the BT. I used a small plastic tube to pull it.

It look like a somewhat significant portion the fillet ran into the tape so when the tape was pulled, it created a cliff at the edge of the fillet and some epoxy dripped.

Yes that is basically what happened.

Time to sand!

 

[TRFfan]

Yeah.

 

[Cabernut]

I've been following - looking like a real rocket now. With all this effort, make sure you get it back. Looking sharp!

Looking good! I really like the fillets, yeah, timbucktoo is right, time to sand!! LOL My MD rocket flying on the F10 will be flying this fall, hopefully.
Thanks,

He's using electronic deployment so no delay is needed.

The CTI specs show a 13 second delay on the G150. End users cannot modify the motor so how do you stop the ejection charge going off at 13 or so seconds?

You are allowed to take out the black powder.

This is looking good, I'm really looking forward to its eventual launch. I hope your tracking tech is solid, cuz that thing is just gonna flat out vanish in a hurry...

Anyway, I'll be most likely doing sanding on saturday.
