Beautiful work!
Looks like the Vixen did a good job of sanding down those ridges.
Have you chosen what motor you're going to use on the maiden?
How big is your field?

Thanks! I'll pass that along to "The Vixen".

The instructions call for an Aerotech F50W-6 for an 800 foot flight or an Aerotech G53W-7 for a 900 foot flight. That reminds me, I should check the CG again with the "laundry" in the model.

Jeffy, just a heads up.
I couldn't find a G53W motor, but there is a G53FJ (Fast Jack). It's a reloadable.
Also couldn't find a F50W but there is an F50T (Blue Thunder).
I assume they are typos on BA's part.

Thanks! Also, and FYI, the instructions that I still had from the Estes Pershing Maxi kit were an absolute necessity for decal placement--especially the number "31" decals.

The F50 is definitely Blue Thunder.
I'd be surprised to see that hit 800' at that weight on a F50.
