50's Sci-Fi conversion

Awesome, glad it went well. It looked a little squirrely on the C6-5 but not bad. Great video.

Yea...it did get a nice S track there, I haven't figured out what caused that, for a second there I thought it was going over and down. It didn't do that on the B engine. Actually I just checked the video again and it did do the S track on the B engine, there's got to be an aerodinamic flaw, maybe a rebuild is in order. I think B's are going to be the best and safest performer for this one.

Probably just instability. The heavier motor brings the center of gravity back further. A smidgeon of nose weight might solve it.

maybe a rebuild is in order.

You'd like that wouldn't you

Hi CA,

Taking a short break from a couple of designs. Googled "Chrome Cardstock" when I found this thread.

Great thread and some interesting comments. Watched the videos again, great editing!

Found some Chrome cardstock that can be printed on, so, after getting you the updated design, will be doing an Atlas real soon.

WOW! Just found this thread this morning and I love it! Excellent build, fantastic rocket, great video!!! I love the 50's sci-fi rockets.

I think the real acheivement of any project or hobbyist is when they inspire others to immulate them. Rarely do I ever get excited by a single engine, anything. I am inspired by this one.

Really, makes me want to build one. Great job!

Hey Mike...good to hear from you over here. As you can see you'r 50's rocket design is a hit. Looking forward to getting the enlarged version, we'll build that one for a D engine

I'm gald you enjoyed it, I get bored pretty quickly with things after doing them over and over I'm driven to take things to the next level, I got bored with the cookie cutter rocket kits. I'm currently working on a project that if I can work out the kinks I think it's something thats never been done in model rocketry, (of course thats a big statement and I could be wrong), but we'll see.
