I just completed my Centuri Vulcan rocket clone. I started it last night at 7:30 p.m., worked on it until 10:00 p.m. and finished it tonight at 7:00 p.m. I need a better nose cone and place the recovery system in it. This was a very quick and easy build.
You built that all by youself.........WOW :y:I just completed my Centuri Vulcan rocket clone. I started it last night at 7:30 p.m., worked on it until 10:00 p.m. and finished it tonight at 7:00 p.m. I need a better nose cone and place the recovery system in it. This was a very quick and easy build.
Good work, look very nice.
It is for use with 24mm Motors ?
Are you serial?
No, but it has been done.

Thanks John,
I think its my printer, it's an HP. Not sure if it's an inkjet plus I did not spray any clearcoat on it yet.
where does one get one of these centuri vulcans?

It's basically a cardstock rocket with an internal motor tube. Everyone should build at least one.
I built, flew and reviewed a Vulcan several years ago. https://www.rocketreviews.com/centuri-engineering-co-vulcan-john-lee.html (Based on the pics, it had to be prior to 2004.) Mine is still functional, but I got tired of the wiggly flight profile and haven't flown it in several years. I remember being terribly nervous during the build until I realized that it was just a piece of paper that I had printed off on my inkjet, and if I screwed up, I could print another one. After that, everything went fine.:wink:
Strange. You caught my attention because I see my name in the link you posted. Curious, I clicked it and was taken to Bill Eichenberger's review.
That's a good thing. I used his review to build mine!:wink:
I did my clone in Blue.
