That is neat. I have never seen one with a glider.
I have been trying out this glue for foam I ordered from Amazon.

Much stronger than the recommended hot glue, and no heating required.
Also longer working time.
It's called Foam2Foam, made by Deluxe Materials.
Here's some 8 oz. cups glued together.
Holds very well, even horizontally.

Will be repairing my Decaffeinator with this.
I painted mineSo you used all the sections above? Great choice! Does anyone ever paint these?
Used Krylon craft foam primer.And no issue painting over Styrofoam? Like Rustoleam rattle cans kinda stuff?

That's a big rocket to paint - I can see many variations of color!
Try a wrap of (colored) electrical tape at each joint. Looks nice and adds a great deal of strengthMine seems to need a repair after every flight, but it’s easier than most rockets to fix. I built the motor mount to allow for the longer E12 motors and have flown it twice that way (with the glider both times). I also built a 29mm motor mount to use instead of the 24mm mount, but haven’t had the balls to try it yet.
