"Riding on the City of New Orleans, Illinois Central Monday morning rail..." - Goodman/Guthrie
My first scratch build, built from the Estes Designer Special box around 1990. A small single stage payload rocket using a two-stage fin pattern from the set. Since each fin is one-piece (it didn't occur to me to make separate parts and glue them together), the grain on the tips isn't favorable. So, I glued 1/16th" balsa stringers to the fins to act as spars and covered them with Monocote. The launch lug is set into one of the fin's covering.
