Estes Xarconian Cruiser 2 stage build

CoachSteve · Feb 21, 2018

I am just starting this one so this thread will go a little slower.
An Estes Xarconian Cruiser
Scratch built 24mm booster stage
Extended length - because I had the tube and couplers
Baffle
Custom other bits - like additional simulated boosters, hidden launch lugs, extra fins

Papered fins and preview of the 2nd stage:

Additional cosmetic boosters:

This is going to be cool!

I actually got the kit as part of a 2 pack off EBAY (along with a Screaming Eagle)
It was sitting in my cabinet for a while, guess this forum has inspired me

Don't keep those kits sitting in the cabinet, they need to be built and flown!

I'm in. Great idea to 2-stage these sci-fi kits. I just added this build to the Multistage Awesomeness thread.

Looking great!

I like it!

Did a little work on the Cruiser today - almost ready for paint. I am thinking maybe a "hammered" finish.

Daddyisabar · Apr 13, 2018

Cool! Fins up front are good looking!

CoachSteve · May 19, 2018

The Cruiser is ready to launch

Hoping to get out to C.R.A.S.H. here in Colorado next month.
I went for a 2 stage alien ship theme to off set my "good guy" 2 stage Odyssey
