Decreaminator!!!!

Would you like cream in your Decaffeinator? yuk,yuk... :wink:
Anywhoo- Ive had this idea forever and a thought.
Finally got around to starting it. Not like its a huge build or anything like that...
Made from coffee creamer cups.
I took some tubeage from a Fliskit Crayon Micro to throw on the scale with the other pieces/parts to get an idea where I was at on heft.
8 grams as it sits.
I see that the fins are NOT like the Decaffeinators (after looking at it on Jims site).
Easy enough to fixy it I so decide to.They are only tacked on .
Im thinking just have two halves that split apart with some kev between and let it tumbly back.
Thing is so draggy it might not even fly.....Ya think?

Oh, it'll probably fly.
Not real high, but it'll fly!

Great idea!

HA!!! Decreaminator, love it.

That's a cool idea!

very cool!
op:

Scotty, I was using those sometime last year to try and build an MMX model, but it proved to be to heavy. Never gave thought to using minis on it. Love the name you chose. Back in the 60's my dad build one out of Styrofoam cups about 6' tall. Called it, "The Moondipper." Go figure, Flis actually marketed one. He also designed a tube finned rocket that we thought would never fly...AHEM!

Now someone with a HPR one made out of 5-gallon buckets needs to get in here and we have the whole family picture!!!

Nice job! I like it!

What do you call it if it is made out of yogurt cups? Deculturator? GoGurt?

Enough nose weight, and enough thrust and *anything* will fly. You can probably sim this in Open Rocket - it's just a bunch of transitions around an inner tube. Or not - just fly it!

If it's not too late, 13mm motors might be a better option since it is so draggy... After all, things work better with more power behind 'em, right?

NARAM 47. I knew I'd seen one of these before. Can't remember who built this one, but he did it at dinner the night before.





I know he flew it, and I think it was Micro-Maxx powered, but I can't remember how the flight went.

Obviously a brillant minded person. :wink:
Sandy and I went out to dinner the other night and I scoffed up some more cups.

It was Micro-Maxx powered. I'm pretty sure it was a single motor and I seem to recall that it didn't fly very high.

I thought I had taken a picture of it but I don't see it in my NARAM 47 folder. This picture was there:



which gave me flashbacks of that miserable hotel.

Very kewl

I've also done this. I can't remember how many cups I used, but it barely got higher than the launch rod LOL

Looking at your original photo, that's brilliant use of plastic champagne saucers as rocket stands!

Also, I'm curious about the gray rocket on the far right.

I wondered if anyone would mention the stands.
Yup,upside down plastic champagne glasses.
Some of them I have a CR on the end of the stem. Keeps them from wobbling.
The gray bird is my "Spectactular" rocket......https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?23640-Another-Scotty-Dog-Scratcher
