Estes Hex-3, #7263, Finished

This was a fun, a bit easier than a normal 3FNC wood and tube rocket.

The fit and finish are very good.

When gluing the wedge fins on, simply cover the white areas with the splayed fin tabs and you should get  good alignment.

When this kit was first introduced I thought it looked like a blue/green version of the old Estes Porta-Pad. I made a Flying Porta Pad.

The Hex-3 seems structurally stronger than my Flying Porta Pad. The F.P.P. only lasted for five launches. The Hex-3 should fare better.
