Thanks David! Assuming no fire ban happens, I hope to fly it at one of the July CRASH launches.

Lee,

If you do in fact have fire bands in July, just come down to SCORE. The third Saturday of the month we are having a Glider Fest and Possibly a Cook Out. You can of course fly anything you wish but hopefully LOTS of Gliders will show up.

John,

Paul Wolaver and I were talking on the way home from NSL about attending some SCORE launches. I'm going to try to make the launch you mention. Timing is perfect, my wife and I are going on a road trip in July, but it looks like we are leaving the week after the launch.

There have been a number of glider posts lately which got me thinking about some old designs like the Raven, Space Twins, and one Bill Eichelberger has been testing and posting about (Jet Freak) that was published in a rocketry newsletter decades ago. I could build that one in no time.

Thanks for the heads-up on the launch.

Really like the use of Gray color scheme.
I may do that as well.

I'm changing the squadron decal DE- to either EF- or EG-

I did not know the Mega DRM was OOP.
I know of a local hobby shop that has one that I'm going to pick up TODAY before going on vacation.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, and HAVOC !

Thanks John. Time to head down South as even Park County went under a fire ban in June, cancelling the Tripoli launch Looks like CRASH will be under fire ban for the third Saturday launch Hopefully we can get some guys out of the big cities of the Front Range and head down to Estesland and SCORE to fly some interesting stuff.

Looks like we will be under a fire ban, so the third Saturday will have to be at SCORE. Well worth the trip.

My wife is joining me. Wow, that does not happen often! Maybe the mention of a cookout lured her. I have shown her FB posts from Johm Boren about his cooking!

John -- hint, hint.

I'm going to go dig out some glider plans.

Okay...so here's a shameless plug...

Accur8 Spacemodels offers a number of different nose-to-tail "skin" kits that allow you to finish out your Interceptor (both the E and the standard #1250 versions) in a variety of themes from the Classic scheme with a few added goodies (like a "Chameleon" block pattern on the base white color) to favorites like the NASA Interceptor, "Twilight" Interceptor (solid black with subtle "Chameleon" base pattern) and the "Thunderbirds" Interceptor (patterned after the Air Force show team. And there are others like the gray "Marines" interceptor. I can do custom design jobs, too.

The skins cover the nosecone, body and wings/fins/rudders. The skin kits also come with basic instructions, parts lists, and patterns/templates for scratch building Interceptor "clones" using the still-available Cosmic Interceptor.

Visit my store on eBay to see what I offer.

You can order there or drop me a "wish list" at my johnpursley@accur8.com and I will invoice you direct at the prices that are current on eBay (or I sometimes discount them more!).

John,

Your wraps look amazing! Since I have a decent inventory of both Interceptor models, I'll definitely be in touch to try out a wrap or two.

A standard "customization" that I offer is to include a Pilot Rank and Name on the lower left canopy sill as well as a custom body/serial/tail number.

Keep me in mind when you do your next build.
