I like the look of this one too!
I also like your Fin Jig. Are there plans available for making one in a smaller scale for LPR/MPR rockets?
Excellent! Thank you. Now I just need to locate a friend with a table saw who can cut the 45* edge for me on a couple of 1x4's.
Got the aft rail button installed, and the external fillets applied.
I've done this before to flat bottomed rockets. I added a slice of body tube to double up the aft end. Hopefully, this will limit landing damage.
I have a question? How come when you mount your rail buttons they aren't centered on the line you drawn? I'm just curious and figured there's a reason behind it and probably a good one. Is it easier to get them lined up? They look really nice.
There is a backstory to the name. When I was a kid, my mom used to tell me a story about when she and my uncle were kids. My grandmother accused Uncle Raymond of farting. He said to her, "I didn't feel a thump in my down, mama!" Well, it sounds like a good name for a rocket to me!
Thump will be 4" diameter, 64" long, have 6 fins, a 38mm motor mount, and be a zipperless design.
The Plasma Fart! I remember that one.Not all farts are bad...
The Plasma Fart! I remember that one.
Plasma...another word for blood if I'm not mistaken.
Bloody Fart...Might not be so good...
Of course...Vulcan blood is green...
Nice, but that lower bend looks like a weak point and susceptible to breakage.
