Or Near Earth Attack Vehicle. Or as I like to think of it . The Knave
I am new here and to the hobby in general. Sure I built a mosquito or two as a kid but I never really got bitten by the hobby till I started teaching classes of kids simple engineering and rocketry. We used bulk packs of alphas or wizards. but by launch day I wanted something more as a finally and it went from there. Now I have a box full of kits and am reading and learning how to build them well, or at least as well as my patience allows. and now recently on extended vacation I am able to spend some quality time in the garage.
this is the first kit i thought to take pictures of.
A small kit from Cygnus Rocketry
I thought it would be bigger
I love the sleek looking land speed look it has.
You may notice a slight jump in time here. did I mention I'm new at this?
the nose used lead weights i had to screw the eye hook through into a dowel into the nose cone. I hope it holds. I had to grind down the lead to make it fit back in the body tube.
I am especially pleased with the results of my first paper canopy cutout
Ok so as I often do. I forgot to put the launch lug on. do you think it would be a problem to mount it inside one of the outboard tubes so it wont show as much?
on to the detailing. interesting now since i didn't follow the white paint suggestion.
Thanks for looking I am learning a lot from you folks.
