I've probably mentioned it before, but it can't hurt to tell it again. In 1984 on the day my buds and I left for our beach trip, I was awakened by my sister playing a Kenny & Dolly Christmas tape in her room at max volume. I'd worked until 3am the night before. She couldn't understand why I was so mad. To be honest, I've never thought of Christmas the same way since. Did I mention it was mid-June? That Christmas in July stuff is just deranged. No wonder Hobby Lobby has Christmas stuff up in late September.

One hiccup. The face card shows the stage fins flown offset, as opposed to the Avenger, Beta, etc. Following the instructions and the paper wrap fin guide, I placed the launch lugs perfectly between two fins, thereby blocking the launch rod with the perfectly offset booster fins. I'd like to fly it offset. Is there any downside to offsetting them slightly less than perfectly? Just enough to allow for the rod? Thanks.
Nice looking bird. Has a retro Centuri-ish fin design that I like so much ...
Welcome back bro
