Big Bertha - Construction


We have several rocket projects under construction. This morning I glued the fins
on the Estes kit called Big
Bertha
.






This should be an interesting rocket. It is a pretty large rocket for an entry level
kit. I think that I finally came up with a method to attach the fins to the smaller
rockets with glue in such a way that it is not so painful during the tack
up process.



Spring in Minnesota is quickly approaching and we need to start working more
actively on the kits if we want to fly them this season. For the past several years
we have gotten too busy and then they end up in the closet or a box somewhere.
