Midnight Express

Figured I give it a try. My first cardstock rocket. Came up a little short on the seam. I think maybe cuz I used 80lb Glossy Card stock. Thats what I had. Got a little carried away with the color markers too. I had fun and its one more in the FLEET. Anywhoo- I could see myself doing some more of these.

I've done quite a few cardstock and still haven't done the midnight express. I have built quite a few Caution Rockets. I absolutely love these. Works out well to give to the kids friends when they go launch with us.

I built a BT-55 Deuce phoenix that's pretty nice, too.

FWIW, I'd like to start a gallery with this one if that's OK with you.

80 lb paper should have been fine.. when you printed it did you have the "fit to page" box checked? I've done that and it's a little small. Make sure you print at 100% and you should be good.

Looks great Scotty. Ditto what Bob said about the "scale to fit" feature of your printer (WHY they call that a *feature* is beyond me... More like the bane of my existence...)

The ME is a tough little work horse and you will be shocked at the altitude you get even with an A motor

Have also seen this up and down scales even to MMX proportions!

Card stock rockets amaze me. Nice build.
