Thanks EV. Got the decal pdf. Was reading a thread on how long to let the first coat dry on the double glue method. Opinions ranged from a few minutes to completely dry. So I went with my method. When the CA grabs, it ain't going nowhere. Takes about a minute. Will be taking your advice on printing the decals on white paper with a black background. I've printed lighter colors on clear decal paper before and they have virtually disappeared on a black model. Printing and clear coating should take a couple of days. BTW I was thinking a flat black with a matte/satin clear coat for the rocket finish? What do you think? I know decals over a flat finish might result in silvering, but I have had success using MicroSol/Set to prevent that.
And I'll be rigging the traditional (vertical) chute harness, but what do you think about a harness that will bring the rocket down horizontally, to lessen landing damage to the fins? Similar to the LEM/SM recovery rigging on the Estes Saturn V.

Thanks for your input, next post probably tonight or tomorrow. Laters.
