Model Forum / General / Rockets / August 2007Eliptic Junk
Over on ABMR I posted a picture of a yellow and white rocket, on a launch pad in my back yard; a rocket I just finished painting base color scheme, (trim to follow). The rocket was designed around an old Loc Magnum payload section that had been converted for 2 stage deployment, (bottom section died from a motor cato), two 25" LOC cut off sections, Performance Rocketry upscale Fat Boy fiberglass nose cone, 3" motor mount and four elliptical fins. I want to call it Elliptical Junk, but after getting it all put together, it kind of reminds me of an old Estes or Centeri kit, but for the life of me can't remember which one. Help me out fellows..

I could never get as far as the fins, the nose cone gave me the shivers. 8-) SignaturePluto downgraded? Get lost, Pluto. There's a new planet in town. Rocketry Planet — http://www.rocketryplanet.com Sounds like the Estes Sprint except that the Sprint only had 3 fins > Sounds like the Estes Sprint except that the Sprint only had 3 fins Thought about the Sprint, but the fins are only simi-eliptical, (or whatever they call it), has a boat tail, and like you say, has only three fins. Maybe it's all in a dream I had. Some of us do dream about rockets..(:-) Fred |
