Bought this about 10 years ago, not going to do a build thread yet I'm just happy to get them. I shipped the parts it came with to James @ Rocketryworks around the end of June in the mail, right before the email came out about them closing. But anyways he got to my order with the rush that came plus supply issues, and I got them. He made a slight mistake and sent the wrong fin design. But I emailed him today and he is sending the surface in the picture to the right, its done and in shipping transit already!! But I'm just super happy I got this to him in time. Probably going to build over the winter and might use it for my L1 certification flight, but I'm not sure yet. But the fins are just mocked up and the outside won't change. Once the new fins get here I need to cut the tube slots bigger.

:cool: That's some serious wood there! (trying to find a good woody joke?) That will be a fun build. Would love to see the build.
Lol, yeah I've had it for 10 years and the fins they give you are balsa, with skins! I will do a build thread for sure, probably under the HPR forum. Its not a bad little rocket, and this is definitely an upgrade!!
 
Got the correct fins today. Might as well keep this as a build thread. It will go on for some time, I'm not planning assembly on this for a few months yet.
