Die Fledermaus Build Update

Much progress of late on Die Fledermaus (even though all the parts for BAAH-1, my L1 cert bird, have arrived—though I have not yet ordered the parachute and heat shield).

The rocket’s built, and now primed. As I type, the primer is drying. The rocket has very much become a prototype vehicle for the build techniques I’ll use on BAAH-1, to the point that, though Die Fledermaus will initially fly on G motors, it’s probably strong enough to take an I motor, maybe more. Rather than a verbal blow-by-blow, here are the pictures construction pictures.

Finally, repeating the overall picture of the rocket ready for painting. (Why are so many of my “pictures of rocket ready for painting” taken at night?)
