Well Tis The Season...HO HO HO!
So I've gotta enter my Micro flying Christmas Tree. LPR group:
Each tear of the tree is actually 2 different size nesting cones to keep the weight down and built strength. Branch details are hand cut vinyl appled in 3 colors. Core is a standard T2+ tube with Balsa nose block in the top tear the model recovers on a 5" mylar chute. Base ring and stand lag/fins are .030" clear lexan with hand cut vinyl details. The Micro version doesn't have working lights but I have a 10.5mm size version that has working mini lights powered by a 3V lith battery for night flying LOL. I'm not sure why the irridecent pearl silverglitter paint doesn't show up well in the indoor still photo but it does a little better in the outdoor on pad pic.
The Micro Christmas three has about 6 or 8 flights on it.

If you'd like to build one there's a 3 page free download in the files section of the micromaxx yahoo group.

I have several other Christmas Theme Odd-Rocs we can show later if it looks like folks aren't into the spirit of the season later in the month LOL!
A very Marry Christmas and Happy new year to everyone!

This is my scratch built LPR, the North Pole Express. It's red and white striped body is supposed to be representative of the North Pole and/or a Candy Cane. The second picture was trying to show the custom made lettering. You might not can tell from the picture, but its supposed to be snow on top of the letters. The fourth picture shows one of the other decals which is on the back of the rocket.

Thats not snow it the first picture - its Cotton
