After beating the heck out of my last Semroc Goblin, I just completed a clone body to go with the existing nose cone. First launch last Saturday, extra long shock cord, resulted in a strike on and crumpling of the top of the body tube. Still flyable, so I have that going for me.
With this clone completed, I have a couple of questions about my next two builds. (Is it bad to be building two at a time? My fleet is making inroads on most of the floor space around here.) 1) A 1:1.54 Goblin upscale, using a perfect ST-20 tube and beautiful upscale nose cone from Sandman. I'd like to make this a two D engine cluster. Does anyone know where I could order such an engine mount for an ST-20 tube? 2) A standard Wolverine clone, again props to Gordon for the quality nose cone. Does anyone know off the top of their head the thickness of the original Wolverine's balsa?
As usual, thanks for the help!
