Almost ready to fly.
The airstart wire routing worked beautifully (I ran straws through the epoxy fillets). Now I just have to retrofit an avionics bay from my L3 project, and wire-up the HCX flight computer (which will control the ignition of the side boosters after the main burns out, deploy the parachute at apogee, and log data on altitude, speed and acceleration over the whole flight).
Oh, and I still need to build three motors, and strap-on the videocam, and check the igniters and pack the parachute into the green bay…
Below, you can see the fiberglassed body pre-paint (and the build details).
