Started work on Orange Crush (yep its going to be painted orange), a stubby rocket similar in style to the Mercury RDR I or II and the Tiny Pterodactyl only with a 38mm motor mount. The airframe is a piece of FG wrapped Loc 3.1 leftover from my L2 cert rocket, the nose cone is from the Tripoli Vegas Yard Sale (thanks Rob Martinez), fins and CRs are cut from scrap pieces of baltic birch I always seem to have laying around the shop, and the mmt is left over from the kids Crayon bank rockets. The rocket will be built predominantly with wood glue except the fillets which will have to be epoxy (fins are ply and airframe is FG wrapped). Currently with all parts it weighs about 14.5ozs, and it should weigh under 2lbs RTF. Motors simmed are every thing between a F40 and a J570.
Any recommended non-flourescent oranges, so far I have seen two that I kind of like Husquvarna Orange, and the Hyundai Veloster Orange, but other input would be welcome.
