So since the day before Turkey Day, I have been well for 1 day...that was yesterday. So today I seem to be having a relapse into yet more Flu, and it is COLD outside, I decided to build.
In the 1st ten minutes of building, I finished a Quest Totally Tubular, a tube finned rocket, that comes pre-colored, and with stickers. This bird could be built at the field and flown inside of 30 minutes, have CA will travel...this should rock on a C6-7
Next up was the Estes re-release of the Patriot missile. This is the C motor version. Great and easy to build, my only complaint is that 1-fin was shorter than the rest right out of the packge, or 3-fins were longer, whatever...This rocket is having fillets done right now.
Then came a rocket I got a couple of years ago from my son...The Quest Navajo...2-stager!! No complaints here except that the motor hooks are very "cheesy" They are very flimsy, and I do not believe they will stand the test of time...never the less, what an awesome looking bird. This Rocket too is getting fillets.
A rocket I started last year and ended up shelving, is the Mercury Redstone, and I started chipping away at it again today as well.
Man I love the winter building season...I just hate being sick
