Just received my kit, that was super fast, 69 hours from order to receipt! Kit looks fantastic, I didn't expect a screw on motor retainer to be in there too!
So, this is my first experience with 3d printed parts. I'm guessing I can just sand the grooves out of the nosecone? Any recommended steps or coarseness?

Thanks again!

I hit it with 320 paper to break the shine and the use a few coats of hi build primer. I use spot puddy for any grooves that primer will not fill and then sand it smooth once everything dries.

I gotta say that @DragonRocketry is really cool with the quick shipping cost refund. I ordered the FB last night and got a $5 refund on shipping early this morning!

Definitely appreciated with the crazy cost of shipping nowadays.

On the pad at Bong. Sorry all, no video. It was a good flight. Flew to 875' on a Cesaroni G115 White Thunder. Easy recovery.

How much nose weight did you add?

 

[ThePlmbr]

Sorry I must be tired. The Fat Boy XL flew on a 29mm, Aerotech G125T. I used 4 oz of nose weight. It flew very straight and had a bit of a whistle.
