That is a hoot!
I like it, that paint job came out great. Did you mask all the colors on the fins, or are those decals?
Nytrunner, great finish work, looks awesome!
I know it's the beak for the phoenix motif, but to me it looks like the bill of a...
Duck!
All masked. (That's why it's taken a couple months). I don't want to think about trying to create a decal graphic for the nosecone
That's a lot of work! But the result was totally worth it.
That is something you won't see another of. Certainly unique and I can imagine the amount of effort that must have gone into the masking. A phoenix of a phoenix, who would have thought it

And the fact that window glass is very good at blocking UV so not much gets through.They're in the window trying to catch some UV rays to cure. However, with the seasonal hazy and diminishing daylight, and the fact my southern exposure is towards a big brick house...
Careful there. If you haven't already (likely you're a step ahead of me) check the spectrum of the LEDs and compare to the spectrum of the curing box. UV LEDs are generally very long wave, and won't do for many purposes.until I get my own eBay UV LEDs to make my own.
Guess I just need to knock down any paint dams leftover and try a clear coat to stick the decals in place for all time

Like the box but lose the 9v. they are terrible and don't last. Use Lipo or NiMH batteries, you can get them cheap on Amazon or Ebay or from anyplace that sells RC-Cars/ Drones, etc. Then you can add a charging port...Started building this. 12-9 volt. Not finished. Needed a good launch control.

Got some mail.
I know that's the name of the Tripoli event for 'reasons', but perhaps a more diplomatic title could've been chosen for a book describing our hobby....?

When I don't know who's asking I say it's "Let's Do Rockets Safely" :-DThere are times I wish the word “Dangerous” was between sneer quotes so people understood the intent.
