I'm taking the easy way out. I will be purchasing a wrap from John Pursley when one comes available .

I test flew the model today on two E12-4 motors. It took off just fine but ounce the thrust stopped it started to wobble. It wasn't a pretty launch but it was plenty high for the chute to come out. One of the plastic fins broke and the motor tube sticking out the rear kinked a bit. I'll build another fin unit and reinforce the motor tubes. I really think this model needs a couple of E30 motors to get the speed up on launch. It's a real slow flying rocket with E12 motors.
