Hmmm....never thought of putting an O motor in my K-55... It already goes wicked high on a D12.

Out to launch...
After somehow forgetting to pack my goblin for MWP9, thus not losing, dismembering, or otherwise destroying it, I decided to finish the paint work I envisioned that day when I was mysteriosly mind linked with Scott Sager (scsager). Though he was working in blood, my mind saw more of an oozy gooey substance. This is the result:

The drips are a nice look with the Goblin paint!
John, the green motor is the same hardware as the flight video. 6" with 27" propellant, mid range O. Although the photo looks really bad, no explosion, just sent the forward bulkhead up through the rocket. The rocket wasn't actually in as bad a shape as you would think. Problem was the tubing used was an odd size I got for free and there was none to repair it.
I'll have two painted Goblin's in the next few weeks. One has flown many times and definitely earned it's colors, it is scratch built stock. The other was started the day I posted the video and pics, it is an upscale using 2.5" tubing, a Semroc balsa nose cone, and has a 29mm motor mount.

Yikes... After looking at the other Goblins in this gallery I realized that I was supposed to paint one of the fins black. So here it is fixed and up to spec....

I had an orignal Goblin back in 1975. Launched it once and found it a year later.
In the first picture, My two lovely daughters pose with my scratch built clone, stuffed so full of cheese the nose cone barely fits - and flown on an E15-7 at ECOF 2011. Launched once and never seen again.
The second picture shows a BT60 upscale, and two BT80 2x upscales. The yellow one has a 24mm motor tube and surface mounted balsa fins. The green one is 29mm with TTW lite ply fins.
Also on the cutting mat are two BT55 cones - soon to be two more clones.

Love this rocket, my brother and I built four of these, but only one survived...Never lost one just got put away and ruined...Anyway, this is a clone which hasn't flown yet.

After much frustration with the launch lug and cracking paint I got my Goblin done and it flew it's first flight on a B6-4. It flew great!
After fixing the spray paint problems I found that little green goblins were trying to escape out from the inside!

Would anyone happen to have a fin template for the original model #1255? This would help immensely with my scratch build... now that the balsa nose cone nightmare is out of the way!
