Now that the Holidays (a.k.a. 'eating season) are past, it's time to get back to building rockets.
Even though my rocketry time will be shared with the on-going basement finishing project as well as daily music practice, I anticipate making good progress.
So, what am I working on?
I still have the nine or so models left over from the 2022-23 "binge build", which never really fully got going.
This year, I'm breaking the build pile down into smaller, more manageable chunks.
Currently, I'm concentrating on five birds.
Two of them , the 13mm and 18mm booster stages are completed through the build and grain finishing stages. Both are now awaiting primer.
Viking 4 scale - completed sanding the fin airfoil facets and filling the balsa grain. These components along with the nose are also ready for primer.
Black Hole Space Probe - completed cutting apart the PNC-50BB nose cone assembly and smoothing out the seam lines on both the nose and display nozzle sections.
A.R.V. Condor - Starting the process of sanding an airfoil into the glider wings.
Even though the the kit directions don't require this, I do so anyway with all of my glider builds.
Just makes 'em fly better.
I won't be doing daily blow-by-blow build 'threads' on any of these models, but will write frequent progress posts with lots of pics.
Stay tuned...
