Here is my 2.6" upscale. It sports a 29mm motor mount and will fly for the first time this weekend at a ROSCO launch.

At the base of the rocket, you can see the original Orbital Interceptor kit I built back in 1981

I recently built this 2.6" upscale, using LOC tubing. It has a 29mm mount, and is built to fly on larger G through small I motors. Basically an L1 ship. Decals from Stickershock23. Hopefully will fly at the end of the month.
