Default RE: TwinJet to Rocket Propelled/Ever been done?

Yeah, on our first test of the smaller reload kit, test fire on the ground, the nylon zip ties melted, so it has now been changed to a slab of balsa between the foam and rocket epoxied down. Then I used the Epoxy putty to attach the reload kit to that.

The over all deal is that I understand the rocket gliders, but what we are trying to do here is, have the plane take off, land, and even fly around like normal first and last, but in the middle ignite the rocket via GER/FLAP switch.

Thanks for the leading edge info, I will give them a thorough coat of epoxy then covered in Strapping tape, like I did with my Combat Wing.
