Looking to acquire this one and considering cloning. The original Estes kit is 12.5 ounces. The LOC 4” kit is 37 ounces with an F engine minimum. I want to fly 24mm D and E motors.
If I clone with basswood or balsa fins do you think I can keep it close to original weight?
I am hesitant to get a vintage kit and use the blow-molded fins. Had a nightmare of a time with my Pershing 1-A.
What about all balsa and paper? Cost of the nose and tail might be prohibitive there.
