The build is very straight forward and easy.
The 3/16" launch lug is glued and centered over the pre-etched lines on the body tube.
Bill asked for a simple paint scheme, Red, White and Blue.
Here's how the model looked for it's first flight, before I added the chrome trim.
I wanted to add some random chrome stars. These wouldn't be perfect stars. Cutting perfect five point stars isn't easy.
I always like the star decals on the old Estes Patriot and Shark models.
Some rough stencils were drawn up on card stock for templates.
These were cut out and taped onto the tube to get a better idea of the placement.
They start big on the top and get smaller towards the bottom.
There will be four lines of stars roughly following this pattern.
