Second tube is now curing. In no surprise to anyone, this one looks better. Gotta loosen up the ‘ol muscle memory.

In case anyone is wondering what these old tubes look like…

That is going to take ancient Jedi Skills Kevin

9.5". The fins are about 57.6" long.

I'm now playing the "how to do dual deploy on this" mental game. The fins extend well past the airframe joint.

@troj

I still have a few genuine MTR decals from when I was involved with the company, I would be happy to mail you a couple if you like.

What did you do for them?

I ran the website when MTR was owned by Kevin Harness.

A web designer I am not, but it served its purpose.

Yeah, I know how to make websites work. I'm not so good at making them pretty.

Out of curiosity, did any of these kits come with instructions? Or was it more of "Here are the parts, I'm sure you can figure it out"? The reason I ask is the Hawk didn't come with any, and I'd love to see any that exist.

I don't recall ever seeing instructions, although my Mad Max (4" kit) came with a rough dimensional drawing.

I'm happy they'll be on a genuine MTR rocket, where they belong!

I have a build thread on here for my Loc Hawk if you want to get some ideas on the process I used.
