Good to see you're back from Quezon City, Philippines :wink:
 
Great looking rocket at the right price. I'm curious what 98mm O can fit in around ~40" of airframe? An O3400 needs around 50.5".
 
Anyone foolish enough to put an "O" into this would surely know how to build it properly. Just my personal opinion of course.
 
60 inches will definitely take an "O". Who is going to bite the bullet and build one minimum diameter?
 
Nice kit Ken! How long does the intro price last?

Let's see the other new kits!
 
I've decided to lengthen the airframe from 48" to 60", the payload section from 24" to 48"

138 inches with the 5:1 NC for 400 USD ???
Ooohh mein Gott !
This would be a great bird to fly with the all new 98mm hybrid monotube from Lake Havazu *ggg*

This is a terrific offering Ken...PM sent to your site email...

Now that was a FUN one! :point: Little bit hairy, but fun.

I was told just last night that maybe I should order next year's Balls project somewhat sooner than a month before the event. :confused2:
Nice looking kit, especially with the latest changes. Hmmmm.... Oh Dear????

I'm making 15 to start.

So far I've sold 3.

The sale will last probably two to three weeks.

Thanks for inquiring.
 
Hey Todd,

Good to hear from you.

I've got some neat fin patterns in mind. Just gotta figure out what diameter to proceed with next.
 
I don't see why I couldn't get you green and or black.

Let me know which airframe you'd like in each color.

Thanks for inquiring.

You'll never know if you don't ask.

I'm having mine customized! I am ditching the preslotted tube (preslotting is for sissies!) in favor of a piece of stock for a 4th fin. I never did like the look of a 3fnc rocket.

Whoa, there! Whaddya tryin' to do, start some kinda internet war thingie? Them's fightin' words to some folk.
Next thing, you'll be saying something like, " I hate tube-fins" or somethin'!

Calm down s6! Let me rephrase. I prefer the 4fnc look over 3fnc. As a matter of fact I do have 3 fin rockets.
 
Prefer? PREFER???
Oh that's it now you've done it. There'll be rioting in the streets!
