When I built my Zooch Saturn I never did a build thread. Back then I wasn't scanning the wraps.
It's about time I did a full build on it!
All the small details will be made first.
All I can take along with me on this long cruise -
Small parts, dowels, toothpicks a break off blade knife and sandpaper.
Body tubes, balsa adapters and nose cone will have to wait until I get back home.
The main body is a BT-60 tube.
There's a trash bag parachute and 1/4" wide elastic for the shock cord.
The centering rings are black Letramax material.
Sorry, I didn't photograph the wrap sheet!
It's really a highlight of the kit. I'll try to include it in a later post.
The smallest balsa sheet you'll ever see in a kit!
There's plenty for the four small fins.
Zooch always gives you an extra shroud line disk - there's seven!
Enlarge the picture and read the note. Dr. Zooch (and a few other vendors) got some bad decal sheets! The paper glue on decals are supplied, just in case.
The pre-weighted adapter.
The inset picture shows the wider, weighted end.
On the small end is the drilled hole for the escape tower dowel.
I'm looking forward to watching the build on this. I built a Zooch Saturn V a few years ago and it just turned out horrible! I have developed my building skills since then and should really buy another sometime and try again :)
