Are you doing a website, then?

I'd love to help... 90% of model rocket business websites have "issues" I find really annoying, and I'd love to see one more that doesn't.

I started on the Fake Wolf tonight, but was thwarted by the lack of a hole punch.
Because of this, I resolve to spend Wednesday night on the couch in the computer room, in my lucky Pink Panther underwear, building the rocket and watching the Reds beat the hell out of the Cubs.
That concludes this announcement.

I started the Fake Wulf last night also.

Luckily for me, I already had a hole punch so I got all the pod sub assemblies done. This morning, after all the glue had dried, I finished the pod.

I'm trying to decide if I'm going to paint the pod since the glider needs to slide easily on the pod tube.

If you DON'T paint the pod you can always go back, sand it and do it later. I DO recommend the step where you are advised to soak the inside of the BT-21 with thin CA and sand it smooth!

I'm planning not to paint the pod at this time, which will shock anyone who knows me.
