Very impressive! :clap:

Did anyone ever take you up on this? :)

Here are a few more.

Here are a few of mine. All of the materials are recycled. NCs are Easter eggs or kid toys; BTs are hand-rolled or of the paper towel or mailing tube variety.

I built a two-stage BT-55 downscale of the Red Max a few years ago. It flies like a champion. And don't worry about nose weight -- it doesn't need any. 107104

Don't buy larger lugs. Just wrap a drinking straw in masking tape and you're good to go.

If you really want to go inexpensive, just print the decals yourself on Avery label paper. Because the rocket is white, this method works well whether you use clear or white label paper. I used clear...

I print my CRs on regular copy paper and use a glue stick to attach them to cereal box cardboard or cardstock depending on the diameter of the BT. Works great even for 24mm RMS.

Love that rocket, and yours are exceptional!

I put together some pieces of junk to make a goony-esque version of the Centuri Red Eye. I've been kicking around some options for decals and will hopefully settle on something soon.

I came into possession of a beat up Quark kit and decided to turn it into a Mini Mini Max. I just need to figure out what to do for decals now. :D 83304

I made a scratch one before Estes released theirs. I've flown it on C6-7s several times and it flies great.82498

I scratch built a Mini max before they released the kit. It has an 18mm MMT and no nose weight. It flies like a champion on a C6-7 but you'll want to make sure you have a large launch area and...

Use a gluestick.

I built one stock and flew it several times. It frustrated me each time because the flights were hardly stable -- it corkscrewed badly for me. I decided to convert it to a 2-stager, the only...

I built a BT-60 upscale of this one a few years ago. It has a 24mm MMT and flies great on D12s -- always very popular. Maybe I should put a decal of some sort on it. :blush: :D

I always liked this one and built a BT-50 downscale a few years ago.

This is my scratch BT-55 downscale two-stage Red Max. It flies like a champion.

This is my BT-60 upscale of the Micron, which I affectionately referred to as the Macron. I put a 24mm MMT in it and it flew like a champion. It was also one of my first attempts to make a decal out...

You provided alcohol to your teenage daughter and her friends? And then posted the fact in a public forum?

Why would you need nose weight?

This is a scratch Mini Max that I made before Estes released theirs. It has an 18mm MMT and flies like a champion on C6's without any noseweight.

Agreed.

Very impressive! :clap:

Two-stage Red Max? Here you go. :D

Very nice! :clap:

Here are a few of mine.

BT-50 upscale of the 220 Swift painted in Cub Scout colors.
Scratch goonified upscale of the 220 Swift, which I call the 44 Mag-goon. Large Easter egg NC and 24mm MMT.

Based on subsequent posts I'll reiterate what I posted earlier: you do not need nose weight to fly this on D or E engines. You also do not need to adjust the lug or CR's. If you want to add or...

You don't need any nose weight. This rocket flies like a champion on D12 and E9 engines. Mine was a favorite until it landed in the one very small unrecoverable area of my launch site.

I second (or is it third by this point :)) the drinking straw and masking tape method. It's cheap and effective and you definitely don't need epoxy.
