Flight Log - 2012-04-15 - Brad Montgomery's Quadrunner

My son (8yrs old) and I found this t' be a more challengin' rocket due t' t' motor cluster, and t' multi-piece fins. Aye aye!  Other than that it was nay unlike other rockets we have built.  We epoxied almost everythin' on this rocket. Avast, me proud beauty!  We used Elmers carpenter glue t' glue t' two-piece fins together.  After they were dry, matey, we papered them with standard printer paper. Avast, me proud beauty!  We used a thin layer o' Elmer's Carpenter's Glue and wrapped them in wax paper and pressed them for a day betwixt pieces o' melamine t' get a very smooth surface on t' fins.  We primed with white Rust-oleum and painted t' final coat with Rust-oleum gloss white, used me new airbrush t' paint blue paint drips flowin' down from leadin' edges on t' rocket, then clear coated everythin' (3 coats). Well, blow me down!  Can't wait t' see this thin' go.
