as I was cutting 'skins' for my latest project the thought occurred to me that I have not seen mention of the Estes Mini Bertha(oop '72 - '82). so I did a design file for it, for those who might want to build it.

note: erockets lists fins for the mini bertha(not sure how they compare to the ones in the file) but does not at the moment carry the kit. you will need a mini engine hook to complete the rocket.

I can't open the .ork file (I don't have that program) to look, but is the Mini Bertha the same as the "Baby" Bertha that Estes currently sells?
 
the mini B was a bt20 downscale of the big bertha powered by a 13mm motor. if open rocket is to be believed, flights of over 600' on an A3-4T were possible.
