Picked up another Hi-Flier XL at my local hobby store a few months ago. The plan is to construct it with painstaking precision, adhering strictly to the stock instructions.
This rocket is already partially built, so I'll document what I've completed so far. A warning: this build thread may move pretty slow.
The complete kit unpackaged:
The first step was throwing away all the trash Estes includes in the packaging. I mean seriously? Who needs this?
First step is preparing the fins. The instructions don't say to do this, but I think a little variance to strengthen it will be just fine. I beveled them and cut out paper.
