Vintage Estes Surveyor Build 2046
This is a neat looking rocket that was only shown in the Estes 1991 catalog. The kit is in great shape and since there are no scans, I will scan and post.

I got one of those BITD. Don't think I ever flew it. I need to get her up in the air. Watching.

It's good to see that SOMEONE is able to do build threads. I've been home a total of 9 days since the beginning of April.
This week I'm in Brownwood, TX. It's not the end of the world, (but you can see it from here.)

So far the build is pretty simple and she is ready for the grey paint today and blue paint on all 5 nose cones. I have everything scanned and should post shortly. The balsa was sealed with 4 coats of Brodak balsa sealer and you can see how well it fills end grain with no additional fillers. The pods were glued on using the supplied stack of cardstock for correct placement of the Bt-5 pods. The fillets are all done with Elmers Glue All and extra fillets were added to the pods to add extra strength. Should have her all done in the next couple of days.

Looks great! Wasn't that kit originally called NCEV -- Nose Cone Elimination Vehicle?
