Does anybody else also get slightly manic laughter when you first realise just how big you upscales will be?
No, but I think there's medication for that.

Building this with the kid.
She picked a Big Daddy out of the pile of kits. I suggested we extend it with a scrap of 3 inch body tube (that I wasn't ever going to use for anything else) so there would be room for a "real" parachute.
She had a good time with the Olfa circle cutter, opening the paper centering rings up for a 29mm motor tube and cutting a third CR out of foam core. We papered the fins with some old exams from the scratch-paper pile.
Cut a reinforcement for the shock cord mount from a plastic peanut butter jar lid.
Might print a tail cone, just for the coolness. Should be ready for primer by tomorrow.
I hope they relabel the Aerotech D10 and D21
Did something happen to the top portion of the print? Looks cockeyed somehow
No, it’s just printed in three pieces and I hadn’t glued them together yet, so the top piece was just balanced there a little of skew.
<snip> I started resin printing versions of PNCs that didn't come out because Fun Rockets went off the rails and did flaming endos until sinking in quicksand. <snip>

That is very plausible. I'd be sure to feed that info back to the company.Working on my Fliskit Acme Spitfire. I will confess this is one of the more challenging kits I've ever built.
Also.. were the body tubes changed after the company was sold?
I noticed that the paper parts are not quite right. The shroud was just a hair too large on the small end and the centering rings were just a hair too small on the outside diameter.
