Thanks gents! Considering the body of work you have all contributed to the hobby and this forum... high praise indeed.

Sorry, no new photos this week. I've been a little under the weather and have just not gotten much done. Besides, photos of paint drying don't make for the most exciting presentation. Anyway, here's what remains on the "to do prior to launch" list. (After the primer coat has had time to dry.)

-Finish soldering up connectors for the R/c gear.
-Re-install linkages and hinges that were reimoved for painting.
-Check control throws and mixing.
-Static test fire motors with the hold back fitting in place. This will be done twice to simulate failure of either the upper or lower motor to light.
-One more ejection system test with all the parachute rigging installed and the "Mouse Trap" holding the glider in place.
-Final checks of the the C.G. for both the glider and the combined stack. The glider is balanced with an expended motor, the stack must balance with live motors.
