This turd was ready for the scrap pile, just taking up space on the rocket bench, but managed to avoid the grim rocket reaper. http://home.flash.net/~samily/core3/ I kinda like it now. I'm gonna try to put a water based clear coat on it. (I've got my fingers crossed.) Silver is ...
Nighthawk upscale progress	27 Oct 2005 14:35 GMT	3
I posted a couple pix of the glider portion of my Nighthawk 2.5x project in abmr. I wanted to finish the glider first so I had at least some idea of the weight being lofted, and what sort of motor mount to build into the booster pod. I stuck my son in one picture for scale.

Just wanted to get some real-world feedback on the Stormcaster flying on E9s and F21s. Rocksim (using EMRR Stormcaster file) File doesn't appear to be that accurate (mass override for nose cone, no TTW fins) and a weight a couple of ounces above published figures.
