It occurred to me while putting on the decals that the Terrier booster is heavy so tumble recovery is not viable.
But if I try gap staging with BP motors then any recovery laundry would be in the way of the blowby gasses.
So the only way to successfully stage and recover this would be by electronic air start. Booster motor with delay and ejection charge kicking out the laundry, sustainer motor air started before that while coasting.
That will be for another build, I'll have to keep this as a single stager.
Well, there is another way.........
Metal conduit inside booster. One end of fuse wedged in sustainer motor nozzle. Other end in the exhaust plume of the booster motor. Adjust length of fuse to timing required.
.........................
Nah.
Sanded the primer.
Shot some gloss white in the forward section and fin can plates.
No masking needed, the overspray will be covered by darker colors.
I switched from Rusto to Krylon cuz of clogging problems with Rusto. So far no clogging with my Krylon cans but I must be doing something wrong. I'm not getting the "spit shine" glossiness from the Krylon gloss colors as I got from the Rusto. Gotta get some more red paint.
TBC.
