Wow, sounds like the making of some V-2 drag races :-)
The kit is extremely well built and designed. My only tweaks are stacking
5.5-54mm rings on the motor mount to give my steel inserts for rail guides
something to bite into, Cotronics aluminum epoxy on the aft ring so I can drill
and tap holes right into the epoxy for mounting aeropack adapter, 1/16
routering to round tge leading and trailing edges of the 1/8 thick G10 fins,
and of course 4-5lbs of ballast in the nose (or whatever brings me to 2
calibers) with a carbon fiber laminated cover-- since full L's will be on the
menu for this girl .... :-)
Will definitely be ready for DairyAire so get yours soon and we can plan some
drag races!
