Named for the location it was discovered by a deep space salvage vessel, derelict and abandoned, its origin and purpose remain a mystery. Shown here in 1/32nd scale, 36″ long, 2.6″ diameter, 19″ span, 10.85 oz ready to fly.. Features a disk shaped wing, a sleek graceful vertical stab with ventral mid fin. It uses a plastic nose cone with raised cockpit outline, 2.6″ BMS white tubing for the body, Depron wing and 6mm depron tail surface and styrene .03 dorsal sub fin. Flew it three times today, flew really great, looks neat in the air.

its origin and purpose remain a mystery.

I ran the hieroglyphics through the universal translator and came up with

“Uber”

There’s a nice double entendre there I hope you like!

For first part of glide looked like “the Hover Rocket”

How do you get Velcro to STAY stuck to the inside of your rocket tube? What Velcro are you using to attach your receiver & battery?

It's the same thing as I provide in the kit it's a velcro brand 1 in wide width 15 adhesive I got mine from the itape store

It sticks incredibly well it's very difficult to get off the inside of the nose cone and inside the body tube it'll take a layer of the paper off if you try to remove it.
