CeeGee thanks!

That was done by taking an old Smithsonian Magazine cover to a place that makes signs. Any place that makes those hanging vinyl signs should be able to do it. They take essentially a photocopy of it and you can tell them what back ground you would like. In this case the background was white and I cut it out around the image. THe image was originally done for one of my rockets. The down side is that it is a little pricey for the first one because unless you know someone they will hit you with a set up fee. The good thing is additional copies can be made cheaply. So the original was about $35.00, but all additional copies I get are $7.50 per.
I use it as sort of a trademark. Plus it looks kind of like Nose Art from WWII bombers.

I went with some metallic flake insdie the canopy then ran a molding around the bottom to set it apart a bit. The I CA'd that to the fuse since I didnt have to worry about fogging the canopy.


Clan, I have the throws set way too high right now, I am going to go to the bottom of the horn on the control surface and them use that as the high rate for starters. THen I have the low rate set at about 70% right now. I built it just stock so no I did not beef up the gear.
I am going to go to nylon bolts however. I figure that will at least safe the fuse from going south if I smack it down too hard.
