Instructions were clear and to the point, no question about what to do next. Maybe they are testing the water with their G-Force, which will most definitely wind up in my fleet! With the exception of this one problem I loved the kit and would love to see Aerotech offer some high power kits. The nose cone material does not sand easily and after a substantial amount of hand sanding with coarse sandpaper I finally resorted to the use of a belt sander to get a nice flush fit at the joint! Perhaps this was an intentional attempt by Aerotech to allow for the thickness of the decal designed to go at this point but I checked the fit with the decal(which I chose not to use) and it still would have required extensive sanding to fit flush. at the base of the nose cone was considerably larger than that of the body tube. I also chose to do a custom paint scheme and when I checked the nose cone's fit to the body tube, the O.D. The one negative comment I would have involves the fit of the nose cone. The kit is rock solid when built according to instructions. I heartily agree with the opinions of all the reviewers. I can't wait to fly it in Ft Valley December 13 and 14 1997. It is my first mid-power kit and it is a proven design, an easy assembly and it has beautiful lines. I recommend this kit to anyone who wants to move into E, F and G motors. I chose to go with navy blue and only put the name and fin decals on to be original. The plans call for white paint and lots of decals. It is always wise to become familiar with the parts before you begin. This is another re son to read ALL the instructions before doing anything else. Let me say however this is only true if you are careful installing the fin-loks!! If you fail here you could be in deep trouble. This model uses a FIN-LOK system and therefore is very strong and there is no problem with fin alignment. I will probably use 30 minute epoxy on any future Aerotech designs I build. ![]() Greg Burke, SoAR's president, used epoxy to build his Initiator and this is a good alternate. Always keep debonder close when using CA. Very little is needed to make a clean and precision assembly. Read all instructions before beginning and test fit all parts before cementing. ![]() This model is straight forward in its design and construction.
