I too had no idea of the scale. :surprised: Thats big. What are the ready to fly stats? 24mm powered yes?
Way too cool!

Well, I'm gonna call this one done and ready. Hope to get out in the next week or so to put her up.----View attachment 91272 ----Be on the lookout for the Dran-lok, attack fighter, build---coming to a forum near you.--------War was on the horizon. The SAT/Earther combined force would have to depend on their training and each other to survive the upcoming conflict ! ---The adventure continues........
It's bigger than I had envisioned. It looks magnificent!
Oh my, yes it is big! :eyepop: Very, very nice. Try to get flight pics!
Oh, and I don't know what you mean by "War was on the horizon." There isn't a horizon in space. :tongue:

Guys, ya gotta pay attention, he's bashing Interceptors and Interceptor E's ! :grin: I said it before, a baaaad rocket buildin' man !
Sorry Jeff, was'nt trying to be a smart ass........
Thanks samb, My bad guys, I assumed ya'll knew what size/scale I was working in. From now on I'll post a pic with Deb holding the finished product. Everthing I've posted up to this point is 24mm bp with the option for others but the field I fly at keeps me low and slow. That said, I'm going to uprate the mmt from now on --and the construction, since I can always downsize.BTW--Thanks for watching this build and all the feedback---much appreciated---As soon as I put her up you'll be the first to know--well--second, and this time dummy has a rocket only camera in the field box with batteries!!!
Any idea of the final weight?
A little heavy but expected --13.7 no motor. My Interceptors are heavier and fly fine, First flight on a E-12 after that I'll move to a composit
There has been a lot of talk here about problems with the new E12's, even some CATO's. I think I'd try one from the package in a rocket I didn't put quite so much work into first.
I agree, an E15 or E20 composite might be a safer bet.
Cool! I'm gonna take that as a pat on the back---THANK YOU! -- what ever I did ,to make what ever you plan to do, easier or at least back on track is a good thing I hope! I really hope folks use some of my stuff and push the envelope a bit. I'm not a performance kinda guy---but I love it when they look good goin up and I get them back! Ya know what makes this a great hobby? ------We all have different goals ---but we all jump in to help each other---Just too cool!! -----HThat is simply AWSOME. I forgot about bending wet balsa from back in my RC days. I have been throwing a pod motor type design around in my head for about a year now and you gave me some great inspiration.
Speaking of technique- how 'bout that tiger scheme? Got a custom order (it happens more often these days-why?) and really dreading cutting a mask for the airbrush-any thots???Well, it's not perfected but it is fun. I'll try and do that on my next build coming up . Thanks for showing intrest. I plan on doing a follow-on build in a couple weeks and plan a similar / but different paint scheme---same techniques should apply----H
Sometimes it pays to be offline for a while, I was able to read this from start to finish. Nice work, and great story!
