I'm still trying to develop that touch, 7 years into my BARdom.

Yes, but one of the things that I particularly enjoy in this hobby is the craftsmanship aspect, and continuing to develop my skills in that area is one of my major goals. I fuss over the appearance of my rockets more than is really necessary, I know, but it is something that I like to do.

I hear ya, I do the same thing. I always see the little flaws from one bird to the next, but I try to learn from those and not make the same mistakes. But the little mistakes are what makes those birds uniquely our own, and ultimately, if they are flight-worthy, that's what counts. Even the pros (see NASA) didn't get it "perfect" every time.

ROFL..... You should see the cluster of motors it takes to get those suckers airborne though!

The birds will look much better once the painting and decaling is done... pics to follow.
