Have any of you tried to make a rocket out of Pringles cans? This is a photo of my first attempt at one. I used two cans, the fins are a copy of the Fliskits Rhino fins. there are five. I slotted the tube and added a tab to the fins to attach them to the motor tube. I added filets to the inside insead of having them on the outside. I covered the fins with the outer wrap from other empty Pringles cans. The nosecone I turned on a drill press and covered with pieces of outer wrap scrap from the cans I had. It turned out pretty good. It hasn't flown yet, but I did spin test it and it pointed straight ahead. It weighs about 10 oz. and has a 24mm motor mount. Hope to get a chance to try it out soon....Larry
