Jim Amos, Missileworks, carries screw type rotary switches that are highly recommended. He shows up at launches from time to time and is local, so shipment is quick.Warren

need to take care of some pressure relief holes in the NC; need to finish paint, but construction is COMPLETE. took long enough and about 3 times more $ than originally planned, dammit it better fly well!

you got it…running both rail guides and the tubes!
