I wanted to do a quick build and speed up my finishing since I have a lot of rockets to build. This is a Custom Sam-X rocket kit built out of the bag. Built in one day, next day brushed on 2 coats of sanding sealer and sanded smooth. I was unable to paint for a day since the weather was not cooperating, but I finally had a good morning and sprayed on a coat of gloss white.

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, AGITATION, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, AGGRAVATION, INSTIGATION, NUISANCE-ACTION, and HAVOC !

That looks nice! I?ve built a TON these little 2-stagers over the years. Did you really use vintage glue or is only the bottle vintage?

Thats a glue bottle I made from the original I have.

Here's some SAM-Xes The Vixen and I have done over the years. I build them, she hand paints them.

That?s a bunch Jeff! Any particular reason you have built a particularly large number of these?

Rocket-Brained Since 1970

This is why I moved from California to Tennessee, I can build my rockets in a couple of days, walk out my front door and fly them. The Sam-X flew great on the Estes B6-0 A8-5, though I did loose the rocket for a few seconds after the separation, sorry about the poor cell phone video.

Except for the few that I flew and subsequently lost, they were sold on eBay and to private buyers.
