    She said, "Make up your mind, you can't do both!"

    This is one of my oldest ones, built around 1967 or so. The main body tube has been shortened a bit due to a lawn dart, and the clear payload tube was replaced as well. It seems so small and light compared to my bigger rockets.

    Just completed (and so far flown once) X-Ray clone. Most parts (but not all) are from Semroc. The BT is Estes tubing and the fins were cut from 1/16 C-grain balsa I had on hand.
