Hello! New BAR, got the bug bad with my son. We're already talking about level 1 (and maybe 2) next summer, but in the mean time, let's build some low power stuff.
SBR being somewhat local to me, seems like a fun place to start my non-Estes kit building experience. I ordered the Li'l Thor and the Li'l Fusion. Flip of a coin, and off we begin with the Li'l Thor.
Overall, nice looking kit. Everything seems high quality and well done. The instructions are kept to one page which initially seems lacking, but then I remembered that I've built plenty low power stuff. Don't over complicate these things, right? First change? Moving the shock cord mount. I'm not a fan of the gluing the cord to the side of the body tube. What was it I just said about not over complicating these things? Oops.
Glued the first half of both motor mount rings, and that'll be in for today. Same time tomorrow for nearly the exact same picture? Tune in to find out.
