Fillets the never ending story....
Last year Nate and I built an NCR SA-14 Archer, which we love and have enjoyed flying on everything from a G80 to an H195. This rocket of course has 4 fins and 4 canards that run nearly the full length of the booster. You would have thought we'd learned our lesson about how much work creating nice fillets can be when you have to do 16 of them....
Well enough whining......found time to get sanding (150 - 320 grit) on the epoxy fillets and then fill with the color changing Elmers wood filler. More sanding (150-320 grit) and the Stealth is now ready for its first coat of primer.
Once we hit about 50 degrees outside we will start painting.. looks like we are waiting until March.
Gives me time to study for the L2 exam!
Stay warm!
Best,
Matt and Nate
