That looks really cool, Greg. Do you think you could build a meillerwagon for hauling a V2?

Looking good! What type of glue do you use? I have a Trumpeter upper hull I need to reinforce with styrene. I'm looking for something with a slow cure to allow proper placement and another with a quick cure to weld the edges with once placed.

i have a few i ... normaly i use bison industrial supergleu


since a few months my son came with a new brand gleu loctite 406 its a lot better binding the plastics



i found out loctite 495 gives ever a stronger bind of the styreen or whatever plastics you will gleu



but a on facebook another rc tanker ruyri gave me another tip
he advised me to use on my scratchwork projects loctite 4061 , binds also metal parts to your builds at strong base, is also medical grade second gleu

i use for the moment both 406 and 495 on my scratchproject Man Kat Lars 2
very pleased with the results
those gleu's are a bit expensiver then my bison but its every cent worth off much better binding

If you're up for it I'll order the rocket so I can get you some Dimensions. I plan to use the Estes flying V2 which is actually about 3 inches longer than it should be for the scale but should still work fine.

I'll send you an email when I get the rocket, okay?

I've been meaning to get in touch with you anyway because I have a couple little items here for you so I want you to ask Derek if he can let us know the next time he comes across the bridge.
