The Zipp kits Missile is finally done!

[Jeffrey Hammond]

Been working on this beast for quite a while……actually since April or so. Put everything together tonight. I may add a few decals, like driver name, sponsor decals, etc., but it is done. I’ll post some pics. U-47, Miss Charlevoix.

BTW, when I was growing up, I spent a fair number of vacation weekends at Houghton Lake and Lake Odessa. My parents were both from Michigan, but I was born in Tonawanda , NY.

Would love to go up there and run with you guys, but
1). I don’t even know if this thing will get up on plane, let alone be competitive
2). It’s a long friggin drive from Charlotte
3). I have another R4 rigger to build before I would consider going racing…..boy, I do miss going to the races. Used to have a blast!

Thanks, and I guarantee that this one is built spot-on according to the instructions. I took my time, used a ridiculous number of 90 degree angles and clamps, and it’s straight and true. I sure hope you are right on the 90% things. It’s always a charge when a plane flies right off the board, or a boat does.
