Hi All!
I'm pretty new to the forum and so I had already started this build when I joined but I figured better late than never. I'm currently working on an Estes Red Nova kit (https://estesrockets.com/product/007266-red-nova/) that I'm calling Project Thunderbird. It's named this as I'm going to give a USAF Thunderbirds pain job! I recently completed an Estes Boosted Bertha kit that I did in the Blue Angels livery so I figured the Air Force deserved some love as well.
You join me just as assembly was completed. I did a pretty good job on this one. There's some very minor fin alignment issues and the little wood stripes are a tiny bit off but good enough for MPR work. I am planning on doing some interesting stuff with this rocket.
-Fly the Estes altimeter
-Dual Deploy via a Jolly Logic Chute Deploy
-Motor retention upgrade to the PSII screw motor retainers
I'll post some pictures this afternoon of where it stands!
Thanks for dropping by!
