I cut the Lower Spool Transition from the same Pinyon Pine as the Nose Cone. The Legs are made from 1/4" Plywood.

The transition fractured while turning it on the lathe and had to be glued before finishing it.

Glad to help.
The F50-4 keeps the 1st flight under 500' too.

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, AGITATION, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, AGGRAVATION, INSTIGATION, NUISANCE-ACTION, and HAVOC !

Primer Day 1

I shot 3 coats of Rustoleum Automotive Primer 2 in 1 Filler & Sandable on the rocket. The body will need to be de-fuzzed (it's a technical term) and then re-primered.​

The plan is to shoot the rocket with Rustoleum Flat White, then apply wraps.
