So i broke down and am currently working on my outlander even though it is a rocket i cannot assemble till i paint her. Opening the bag I was first dismayed at the condition of some of the parts. tubes crushed and some bent easy fix because i had more. When was this kitted originally because I would have thought Estes would have used laser cut balsa and water slide decals not stick on. . Also Judging the weight of the bag this is a Rock. Are you sure she can fly on b-c motors. ( has anyone ever converted this to d's)
I started with cutting the main body, nosecone and nozzle. I have to say this is one heavy bird. the razor saw ate through it but talk about thick. ( i wonder is a paper shroud version could be made or even Balsa)
I than assembled the tanks I'm thinking the 4 min tanks will be painted Gold While the 8 small tanks will be painted Silver and gold
I glued together the gear housing covers slightly tricky till i looked at the coverart with the grain not being shown
Ill add photos later.
