My "build whatcha got" project has me working on an Estes Stinger clone since I have the decal handy and a nose cone that's not doing anything at the moment. Fins attached, nicely filleted and ready for a motor mount, which I hoped to do in a stolen moment last night here at work. My son had my car, so I had to take the wife's Yaris. (Pause momentarily to allow the mental image of me in a Yaris to sink in. ) I loaded my gear on the back seat with my thermos full of iced tea, then backed up the driveway. Tea was apparently topheavy, and flipped over onto the floor.
Why in the hell I decided to put the Stinger on the floor I'll never know. Result was two fins removed, one in three pieces. I'd hoped to prime it this morning when I got home, then F&F it while I waited for Sarah at the ice rink. Instead I spent the time cutting new fins. I did get a nice new steel ruler out of it all. Almost forgot. I came on here to cry on someone's shoulder, only to find the site down. THANKS A LOT, SCOTT!!! I'm going to deduct yesterday from the fees the next time I pay you.
