I'm working on a conversion of the Spacemonkey Models V2 in 1/24 scale. It's a great kit. If you don't have one, go here now and order, I'll wait...

Ok, no pictures in this post, but I will add a few later on.
Work so far-
added stuffer tube
opened nozzle to allow motor tube to pass through
trimmed motor tube and added CR and shock cord
started gluing fin halves together
I originally planned for an 18mm motor mount based on prototype model flights at the WSMC by Matt Steele on a C6. Really awesom flight, slow and majestic. In talking to James Duffy about the conversion I found out the production model was a bit heavier than the pre-production parts Matt used. So I had to swap out the 18mm mount for a 24mm mount.
More to come.
