Decision to Cut

S-IC retro rocket issues are now sorted out: they were installed on the inside of the S-IC engine fairings, and blew a piece of the fairing off when they fired. One decision down (doesn’t have to be made!).

The S-II ullage rockets are a different story: model Apollo 15, for example, and they should come off (the S-II wrap has four of them, Apollo 15 had none). Tim had a suggestion: get a second S-II wrap, cut out the ullage rockets, and cut pieces from the second wrap to replace the stringers.

I’m ordering a second S-II wrap, and I’ll cut-and-piece.
