'I battle gravity'
Epoxied the ”snuffer” shock cord mount into the body tube of my LaserLOC 2.23. Best laid plans and but it’s in and only about an inch forward of the intended location...no big, now I have additional room for motors and still plenty of room for recovery gear in the front. All I need to do now is put in J-B Weld fillets front and back on the mount and that little chore is done.
Assembled the motor mount adapter of the LaserLOC 1.613 and need only mount a motor retainer to the business end and ”case harden” the assembly with CA glue.
Fitted the fins to the little LaserLOC and discovered my Badass BT60 build guide is for 1/16” fins so I ordered one for 1/8” fins. If you can’t print guides for yourself, Badass guides are pretty slick and Ian ships quickly.
My 6’ 20mmx20mm 8020 launch rail showed up today, well packaged and straight. Tomorrow I’ll bust out the Rail-buttons.com mini’s I ordered last week and give them a test run.
What didn’t show up was the 12” long 19/32” brass tubing to mount/epoxy my 10mmx10mm MakerBeam micro-button launch rail into. Should have looked at the Amazon vendor reviews...only 80% satisfactory. Package was sent via DHL Global (?!), mis-routed, to Compton, CA, routed to SF Bay Area, and who knows when it will arrive. Amazon has already notified me of the delays and advise to request refund if package doesn’t arrive by close of business tomorrow. I can buy the damn thing locally for about half of what I paid for it 3-1/2 weeks ago during the lockdown.
