My Cape Byron Rocketry Apanina Build

[OverTheTop]

Can I ask a dumb question but what does the paper on the wings do for the rocket. Make it more aerodynamic creating less drag?

It also means you don't need to fill and sand the balsa to get rid of the grain pattern.

Adding the paper skins also provides a bit of strength/rigidity to the wings/fins.

Interesting build. Does Cape Byron Rocketry still sell the Apanina kit? I've searched the web but there web site seems to be under construction.

The web site is certainly 'under construction', and there is a new batch of Apanina kits planned for the near future. We're primarily farmers, so the rocketry business is a secondary concern.

If you send me a message at [email protected] I'll add you to the mailing list and you'll get all the updates on re-stocking and new releases.

I highly recommend it. Quality all the way.
