Ok, I got a thing for the Fat Boy, so I'm going for my first scratch build rocket, using a 4.0" tubing. Anyone got any good ideas? Bad ideas? Fat Boy humor?

Why's it gotta be about how big it is? It's not the size that matters, it's how well it flies.

Mosquito nose cone looks close to it. Whats up hobbies also has similar ones for sale (Jack has a lot of parts piled on top of the tables in front of his trailer at launches).
Sandman does a great job on custom nosecones.

Cal, where do you launch?
There's a group down in Sacramento that launches out of Rocklin and we do have a member from Chico.
Check the link: Sacramento Area Rocketry Group (SARG) NAR Section #557
Our next launch is scheduled for October 30, field conditions permitting.

You got that right...I plan on exhausting my rocket budget next month at GHS which is why I'm not out with the club today. Kind of bummed now, it's gorgeous today. I've been a little out of touch with SSS the last 6mo so I'm excited to get involved again. I kinda miss those knuckleheads.Originally Posted by terryg

Thanks for the info Old Dude. I really haven't found a good place to launch in Chico. I have launched a few times off Humboldt Rd, but I gotta wait for a little rain due to dry conditions. Forward my info to your Chico member, I would like to get in touch.
