Hi Sprint60,
Thanks for the great report! Sounds like a great family activity.
I'm glad they built and flew well for everybody.
The Kevlar isn't real long, I don't want it to extend beyond the end
of the body tube preventing zippers. The body tubes are heavy wall BT-50
and a Kevlar snap back might still cut through it.
One point before you paint -
That yellow nose cone is hard to cover with just a white coat of paint.
Use a grey primer first, then a few coats of white.
For some reason that yellow plastic can show through a light coat of paint.
