SCALE - Mig 25 Foxbat Gallery

I just finished this Mig-25 Fighter Jet project this past W/E.
I took it to a Boy Scout meeting on Monday past and Harold and I did a presantation to the Scouts on model rocketry.
They seem to like it.
The MiG is D/E powered. It's heavy, it weighs almost 4 oz.(120grams)
18 inch chute will provide recovery.
14.75" BT-55 body and with nose cone, it is 19" long with 3/32 medium hard balsa for fins.
I enlarged an Estes Strike Eagle for the engine pods.
I think it looks neat.
And no I have not flown this yet but I'm sure it will fly.

I'm waiting for some decals from another rocket designer who shall go nameless but does a lot of interesting builds.

A few more pic's.

It Flies!

Finally I fly the MIG. I brought it to CMASS today. I did not have a motor for it but I was hoping to buy or trade for one.
Better yet I got one donated by a fellow CMASS member and new found friend Mark A.
He wanted to see it fly. As did I.

Thank you Mark.

Check out the pic and video.

Here is my MIG-25 Foxbat Fighter Jet Rocket based on the Estes Screaming Eagle F-15 Fighter jet. I designed this as a MPR for "D" and "E" motors.
She flies straight and true!

Yesterday, I launched the MIG-25 Foxbat on a C6-3 motor just for giggles. I did not think it would fly let alone get off the launch pad. Well fly it did and allthough it wasn't very high, it was a slow and majestic launch. I only wish I caught it on video. Check back in two weeks when I launch it again with CMASS at the Acton, MA site.
