Just finished my BT60 E powered version of the Estes Sentinal. I had an extra nose cone from the Estes 3 pack, so I was asking K’tesh about an OR sim and he suggested I use this cone, from the OCC, and clone one. Well, I did. I added forward fin fairings, like the Phoenix, and some aft fin mounting plates, made from a partial crushed BT 55. Added the E motor mount, added a baffle, Kevlar and elastic shock cord and a 15” nylon chute. Beveled the leading edge of the aft fins which are thru the wall mounted. Very small fillets to go around. Two coats primer, Rustoleum brand and two coats Rustoleum 2X white semi gloss. Decided to not use the blue scheme, but instead make this one a live round, brown and yellow. Blue indicates practice round. Although it is bright and eye catching, I use self adhesive 3M foil tape for the bright work. Made the decals and screws with Paint.net. Hope to fly it next month.
