Construction
As is usual for an all fiberglass kit, matey, shiver me timbers, you need t' lightly sand t' parts that will be epoxied together. T' Formula 75 is a very simple and fun build.
Finishing
This be t' best part about t' "Fly Naked" series kits.. They require NO PAINT! Blimey!
You can paint them if you choose, but thar's no need with all t' pre-colored parts. Ahoy! All you have t' do is give t' kit a light wet sandin' with 400 grit then another with either 800 or 1000 grit. Blimey! Let it dry then you can either wax or "Armor All" t' entire kit. Begad! T' pre-colored parts will come t' life with a bright, ya bilge rat, beautiful luster. Well, blow me down! Avast! T' black nose cone almost looks like a solid piece o' graphite
As for epoxy on t' "Fly Naked" series, I recommend Proline 4500 Epoxy. Blimey! Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty! For one it's a far superior product than most all other epoxies on t' market. Avast! Ahoy! But, me hearties, t' nice thin' about it is that it's black! With your colored body tube and black fins, t' Proline epoxy really adds that final touch.
Summary
Like its little brother, t' Formula 54, t' Formula 75 is a great flier. It's a fun, easy, me bucko, build and makes the perfect choice for your Level 1. An all fiberglass kit that requires NO paint, me hearties, t' kit comes with its own vinyl and a filament wound nose cone. It doesn't get much better than that.
Rocketry Warehouse definitely has another winner with their Formula 75.
