Estes Crossfire ISX 2.6" Upscale

Decided to OR the Estes Crossfire that I'm almost finished building because I'm not too happy with with the stock kit. Specifically the really thin walled tubing Estes spec'd for the kit. Fin slots do not hold to the tubing contour.

Started out with K'Tesh's Crossfire OR file as a reference (Thx again K'Tesh for providing great reference material ).

Anyhoot, here is my 29mm 2.6" Upscale of a pretty cool looking rocket.






And here is my OR file for anyone interested (Link)

Basic Parts List

Nose Cone: Madcow FWNC26T-C
Airframe: Madcow T26-255
MMT: LOC MMT-1.14
Centerig Rings: LOC CR-2.56-1.14
Retainer: GLR 29mm Threaded SLR
Fins: 1/8" Aircraft Ply
Shock Cord: 1/8" x 75" Braided Kevlar (Listed in OR as Nylon)
Parachute: GLR TAC-24

Notes:
* Fin strakes not included in OR file. Cannot be done in OR at this time.
* Fin placement vertically is different then stock. This is how my finished kit turned out, so I scaled accordingly.
* Not totally satisfied with Crossfire decal on airframe. Slightly oversized but I'm too lazy to correct it.

Enjoy.

Love the Crossfire. Great way to go for unexpected hikes. (C6-ya later!)


Build it!
