FlatCat Boost/Glider Build, Part 13 - Pop-Pod Prime-Time

I didn't have very much time this past weekend to do a lot of rocket building work, but I did manage to get the primer coats and sanding finished on the FlatCat's pop pod. 

The 'Piece X', of course, is masked off so there is not paint build-up that would interfere with its fit in the glider nose slot.


All that remains with this build is applying the pod's color coats, markings, and seal finish, followed by the installation of the recovery system and trim balancing for boost stability.

Cheers.
