And here's the new paint job. It's a little darker than Doug's color guide, but I through buying paint!

I can't do the Barrowman method myself, but Rocksim has option to have Cp calculated using Barrowman or its own method. Your paint job looks great, so far. I bought a bunch of small cans of paint to paint mine, but can't get up the initiative to start.

It's pretty cool that two different methods (one rather low tech and the other state of the art) have resulted in such similar results. Having gone through this exercise I feel much more confident in having a good flight with this odd duck!

I'm getting better at this painting thing but I've got a way to go. This one has seven different colors and so far my biggest expense with be paint. I've decided to go with brush on paints for everything else except the flat black and light gray on the nose.

Thanks for your interest and input.

It's a nice model. Shrox, please don't stop designing.

Ted, I just would have found a way to swing test it.

Maybe I could devise some sort of elaborate harness so as not to crush the fins? I guess I should have done that before I started painting. Oh well, they don't call me Mr. Bass Ackwards for nothing!

Seriously, this is a challenging project that requires thinking and planning and I'm really enjoying it! I too hope that Douglas Shrock continues producing his unique Shrox designs.

Ted,

Tonypv built one last year and has flown his a few times. Go to http://www.cmass.org/ site and look at last seasons pic's for shots of his rocket. Tony is a master at construction and painting.

I appreciate the link but try as I might I could not find the pics of tonypv's Skonk Wulf. Can you narrow it down to a specific date?

Thanks!

Got it! You are a gentleman and a scholar! Do you think Tony would mind if I post his pictures here?

Nope, I don't think he would mind. He pop's in every day, twice a day. Once in the A.M. 5:30ish and again about 5:00 P.M. billspad took and posted the pic's on the CMASS forum.
