Overstable By Design
And a couple newbies from late last summer. This years line up of new models has 2 kits involved. Hey! I have permission to do a kit if I want to.....SO
From left to right there is Mystic Djinn. A BT 60 size model with 24mm motor mount. Next we have the twins. The little one is the Orbital Transport Laboratory, DOM Plan #73 and it's big brother upscale behind, done up on a BT 80 airframe. That big goofy fellow in the center is none other than Beldar Conehead. He'll get a maiden flight on an F67-4 single use because I really need a good push but not a lot of altitude. If that goes well, I'll consider a G motor of sorts. Omegazilla II finishes out this batch. This is an upscale from my original design about twice as large.
Batch #2 from left to right starts with Slick Daddy. This is a downscale of a design by "Estesbasher". I did mine with a PNC 80K. It flies so well that I have plans for a 4" design. Next is Aldebaran. A Klima kit given to me by Leo Nutz. He wanted my opinion on the kit quality and he soooo got it. Great parts to say the least. Fat Vagabond stands boldly with the yellow to orange fade done up on a BT 70. It's a squat version of the kit and much fatter. Flies like a champ too. LW gave me the Apogee Mini Condor (up front) because I stink in the glider world of model rocketry. He's helping me get my chops up to speed. (LOVE YOU MAN!!!) Last on the right, is an upscale Spaceman. I built this with a BT 80 airframe and a BT 55 neck piece. All of these rockets sport hand turned nose cones except for Slick Daddy, Aldebaran and the Mini Condor. The black background made it almost impossible to see some features done in black paint, so you might notice the slight silver lining around certain nose cones and fins. Can't wait to get em in the air.
