RED HEAT

Build from scratch, 3 layers of Kevlar wraps over a cardstock tube, all soaked in epoxy !Fins though the wall, and tip to tip fiberglassed, also 2 layers of fiberglass wraps over the rocket frames. Had a CATO with this rocket that fried the whole inner section and it seems it made the rocket tube stronger !! Rocket was also painted a few times, Last time painted with automotive primer and paint. After that polished and waxed to protect the paint. Rocket flies well on high power motors, some rotation but acceptable. Also removed the switch band on all rockets and installed dual recessed switches.

Redid the sled with the stratologgers on a G12 fiberglass sled. Seems all fits nice with Iphone space.

Have to rotate the upper bay because the plastic screw hit the launch rail !

Working on the spin in the next few days also....According Jason the trim should be on the left side of the rocket, looking from the back of the rocket. Opposite of his EZI rocket, Will start will 1" full width Scott professional masking tape over the full length of the fin. Will put a thin strip of epoxy on it to secure the masking tape. And when all seems to work I will paint it.

Update 03/21/2017 - Working on the spin, sanded the fin edge down and applied 1" Scott masking tape on all three fins and on top of that a 1/2" Scott making tape, both fulllengthof fin.

Update 04/25/2017 - Since the spin went in the other direction on the April 2017 flight I took off one layer of masking tape and see how that works the next time when this rocket flies. Also started fixing the nose cone that got bumped on this launch, came from the rail 15/15 though it was a 10/10.... Some bondo applied and sanding and painting next. Fixed the rail buttons as well, the seem so very small so I installed new screws and grinded them down so they don't hit the rail. Also bras pipe in the sled glued on, came loose with the April 2017 Launch.. After all this some polish and waxing..

Update 04/27/2017 - Still working on the nose cone, used bondo first and now using the bondo filler and sanded it all smooth. Will apply primes next and then the white paint.

Update 04/28/2017 - Primed the nose cone and the section on the body tube that had the old rail button on it, pached that hole and primed it and when dry will be ready for paint, need to cut out the flame to repaint it.
