Rich DeAngelis's USS Prometheus
Manufacturer:Red River Rocketry
Diameter:1.3250 inches
Length:21.0000 inches
Style:Futuristic/Exotic

My first kit from Red River, and I must say t' parts quality and t' kit overall was excellent!  I added a payload section by cuttin' t' body tube 3 inches short and includin' a balsa bulkhead and hollowin' out a portion o' t' nose cone.

A few other minor mods I made be addin' a few decals, placin' t' launch lugs on standoffs, and laminatin' t' fin stock with cardboard before sandin' and finishing.  I used thicker strin' for t' parachute shrouds, sized 1-1/2 X t' diameter, and connected them usin' a fishin' swivel. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Naturally, arrr, me model came out heavier than t' kit suggests, tippin' t' scales at 82.3 grams.

Props t' Red River, this was t' best quality kit I have ever bought (Compared t' Estes, Quest, shiver me timbers, and DynaStar).  I still have t' check out Fliskits, Qmodeling, Wolverine and Semroc at least!
