The Basic Flying Model Rocket... Out of the Estes Vagabond kit bag..

lessons learned:
the body filler thats great for plastic models in no fun, and not going to get covered right with paint... Used it on the BT joint... had to try it.

First one built since about hmm...1994 give or take a few. Even then it was only a few built since 1985.

I sure miss Pactra Poly-U Spray paint. Used the Duplicolor you guys seem to like, it was quite decent. Primed with Tamiya White...also no longer available..

Will limit this one to Estes D or longer-burn less peak thrust E.



Oh and for grins... a first attempt at a Nose cone on the Lathe.


Now that this one is done,
Started working on a D Streamer Duration Bird.
