Taking a break from my regular cardstock builds to work on this SEMROC Gyroc I ordered along with some Kevlar shock cord from eRockets. A few updates from the original kit I remember building as a kid.

13mm rear-eject engine through tube with streamer and the notched fins with rubber bands are new. Slots and tabs help align the vertical stabilizers on the main wing fins, and a handy jig to align the fins with a sanding guide for the edge angle on the flap retention tabs.

I am thinking of painting one side of this yellow and the other side blue to see if it appears green when spinning down. A few pictures of the build so far ...
