Description

Picked this up from Mad Cow back when they had their 4th of July sale. I added a couple of extra centering rings at the aft end of each fin set, one is a 4"-3" that was sanded to fit the ID of the tail cone. That tail cone added some complexity to the build and I lost count of how many dry fits I did to get the glue sequence just right before finally assembling. I added a tracker bay to the nosecone for an Eggfinder and will fly it with an RRC3 and RRC2+ altimeters.

I picked up a L800 from Bernie last weekend. Going to do a shakedown flight at GRITS if the weather cooperates.
