Mars Snooper Mayhem

Update. Realized my old W8 machine used Firefox. New W10 machine is Edge. I tried using Firefox and copy/paste works. So it appears to be something in Edge.... Again - is there a setting for this?

If you're running the "old" Edge, then try upgrading to the "new" Edge, which is Chromium-based and looks and runs a lot like Chrome. Supposedly the next Windows update will include the new Edge automatically, but no reason to wait. I've been running it on a couple of machines (Mac and PC) and am happy with it so far.

Semroc - masked and painted top


Did the same for Hawk



Q - painted the "motor/vane" section. With the various nooks and crannies got some runs. Not really visible about 3' away. Will wait and decide after 48 hours waiting period what I'm going to do

Hawk - Got the black done

Pulled all the masking tape and applied decals.
Ran into an issue with a "1" from Hawk (more my mistake) and it broke into 3 pieces. I tried to line them up. Not bad looking (from a distance)

I highlighted the edges of the vanes on the Semroc and Hawk. As previously stated, it's difficult to see everything going on down there"




"Finished" the Q version. Here I painted the vanes silver to make them stand out.



I need to do a group photo.

All three need a touch up here and there plus a clear coat. But basically done!

First launch for our club this year.

Pix on the pads and launches.
Semroc



The Semroc Mars Snooper lost a wingtip pod on landing. It will be an easy repair.





Hawks Hobby flew a little squirrelly, but recovered with no issues.


The Q Model separated at Apogee - the bulkhead into the transition pulled out and the top free fell. However, except for a minuscule blemish on the very tip of the nose cone - no damage. Just need to re-glue in.
