Centuri X-24 Build, Finished













This one brought back a lot of memories.
I was surprised how well the online scan printed up and turned into a pretty good build. The conical Estes nose cone worked well as a substitute for the Centuri original.
I'm looking forward to the first flights and (hopefully) a decent glide.

UPDATE: It has been launched twice and turned in a respectable glide recovery! After the first flight a little more clay was added. Following the second flight a bit of clay was removed. I'm slowly zeroing in on the right amount for the lifting body.

  1. What is the clay that you used on the X-24 Build?

    1. Hi Scott,
      The clay is just regular modeling clay I got at Hobby Lobby or the Dollar Store. It came from one of those four color multi packs. Nothing special.
