Hi all ,
Just spent most of this morning putting this New Estes Paveway III together.
I must be addicted as I couldnt put the thing down and forgot to do piccies as I built the thing. Sorry
Anyway , pretty standard stuff though this is the first time Ive done thru the wall fins. I found the slots that are kind of preformed to be somewhat oversized. This gave me a bit of stress. I found that to really get anywhere with this part of the job you have push on with the reinforcer panels quite promptly to help set the fins in place.
The quality of the fin balsa was really good, the reinforcers are quite lightweight though but seem apropriate for the job of just helping to retain the fins.
Other than that Ive no real major revelations with this kit though it does look really cool now its taking shape.
Anyway , to the piccies .....
Paul
