Temporarily assembled so I could set the C of G with a few tosses (freeflight). The thing actually flies. Notice that one of the motor leads worried off. Bummer.

2um mylar covering. Used thinned "Stix-It" heat sensitive adhesive to apply. A bit tricky at first (as always) but gets easier with practice. Slivers of mylar trimmings REALLY do the static cling thing big time. Funny and annoying at the same time! I put some on Nico the cat. That was the funny part ;o) !

Made some "Doh-nut" actuator mounts for ease of covering and removal. Some pretty thin wire there. What you see is actually 2 wires twisted together. Sheesh!

This is what I use to apply small amounts of CA (A nice piece of Brass of Aluminium would look much nicer ;o0 ) . Just bend some .015" (? or less) wire like this. there is a "Tang" that inserts into the tube. Put a couple drops of CA in or on something that won't absorb it (like wax paper, piece of plastic, whatever, and dip the tip in to pick up a small amount. The smaller the angle between the tips (let's say 5 deg instead of 10 deg) with hold more glue. They do need to be cleaned quite often when using the with CA (scape off with a knife). They work awsome for accelerator (Kicker). No need to spray down the whole thing for just one glue joint.
