anyone built the rocket pictured in The Rocketry Forum logo?

GlenP · Nov 12, 2014

The curved body shape kind of reminds me of those old metal stamped toys from decades ago, and slightly of the Tintin Destination Moon/Explorers on the Moon rocket or the Wallace and Grommit Grand Day Out moon rocket, just wondering if anyone has built an actual flying replica of the rocket shown in TRF logo. Anyone know what the inspiration behind this cartoon rocket was? Just curious.

Yes.

When the new logo appeared, one of the admins ran a contest for people to build it. Check out this thread. Starting on page 2 of the thread there are links to the individual builds

Awesome! Those are some impressive builds. Really cool idea.

I think Troj or someone sold card stock kits. I still have mine in the package that I need to build some day.

Go to the "store" tab in the top tool bar, looks like they're still available.

Pemberton Technologies makes a kit that replicates the logo. It is a card stock kit, but has a decent price point. It can be ordered on their site at : https://pembertontechnologies.com/featured-kits/

I saw this one fly, can't remember if it was on I motor or even larger. Was largest motor ever flown on the HOVAR field. Nose cone of laminated 2x4's!. Launched off a 3/8" or 1/2" rod through the body. (to be clear, I did not build it.)

When I proposed the community rocket launch idea (haven forgotten about the two previous rounds), this was what I was thinking of building/launching.
