Gotta have it.
Does your product liability coverage handle marital counseling?
I knew a few people wanted one but I didn't expect them to sell out in a few hours. :jaw:Seems as if this was a popular one, with them being sold out now. You planning on doing another run?
Mine is in my hot little hands as we speak. (So to speak.)
That's a good suggestion, when I built my first clone I used payloadbay.com's fin wrap guide tool (Get It Here) to create a wrap that did what you just described.Well, I couldn't resist and I actually started (and almost finished) this kit last night rather than letting it age like a fine wine in my build pile...
Excellent quality as always. Parts fit perfectly, everything is well packaged and the instructions are clear and well produced.
Only one suggestion for the next time you put some of these together...some kind of alignment guide is needed on this one. A simple wrap around guide to mark the two reference lines 180 degrees apart would be helpful; the instructions have everything to be lined up by sight but I still needed to get some lines on the body tube to get a proper alignment.
It is also a bit challenging to get the motor tube properly aligned. I think I got it but I'm wondering if there isn't some kind of little trick to make that easier.
Anyway, again, what a great reproduction of a wonderful kit from my youth! I should be finishing up the construction tonight and then working on the finish. One of my teenage son's friends sat with me while I was working on this and he was really enjoying watching this go together, asking about a lot of my other models and (I think) hearing some of my rocket stories.

I can add one easily in the next batch. Thanks for the comments!
Got any pics of the build?
Ray, any idea when the next batch will be ready? Father's day is coming up you know.
There must be a glider I can get to fly right. Maybe this could be the one!
Somehow, I managed to miss the first two batches as well.
Yep, we need more Mach 10 kits...pronto!
Nice build Dan.
Don't seal the wings!

Since I don't think I've ever seen a real Mach 10, this model seems like a downscale of Scott Branche's (rokitflite) scratch R/C upscaled Mach 10 to me!
As for being easy to fly, I think Scott had a better chance of getting an R/C version to fly. The original model is not easy to trim and a lot of them have powered into the ground before ejection.
I never built one myself but I watched JimZ fly his into the ground 3 times at NARAM 43 before he gave up in disgust.
One of the members of our club has adapted his with elevator control and his flys sweet.
