While the finishing job on the Diamond Cutter plods towards completion, I wanted to get something else accomplished. So I pulled out one of my Black Friday purchases: the Odd'l Cyclone, which I thought was perfect for winter because no painting. Woohoo!
I also decided recently that I need a few odd-rocs to spice things up at my launches, and ones which could work in a small field would be good. We'll see about how well this one works in a small field; I'll certainly try it first on a big one and see how far it drifts.
Anyway, this should be (for me) a quick build thread, but it's a cool little kit and I thought maybe others would find it interesting. I'm really looking forward to flying it, which should happen at the first spring launch I can attend.
This rocket is small and light, and that is reflected in the packaging. Here are the parts:
I was initially taken aback by the very long 1/16" balsa fins, which seem as if they might break if you look at them the wrong way. After working on larger and sturdier kits, it took me a few minutes to mentally adjust to handling the comparatively small and delicate parts here.
As expected parts are of high quality and everything is nicely kitted. The instructions are clear and well organized.
