Cosmodrome Nike Smoke Finished 10 Years In The Making

[Dseter]

Took a quick break in 2013 to focus on the career and other distractions as well as finish raising 4 kids and so found a couple days recently to finish the old Cosmodrome Nike Smoke. Fairly happy with it and might even sleep tonight knowing the I applied the vinyl decals somewhat straight on both sides of the main body. Also completed an old Estes V-2 so now it's on to Bad Boy Rocketry's upgraded Super Vega where I hope to add the Q-Modeling technique of pod springs, double up the body tube thickness and have ttw ply fins, yahoo!

Nice Nike Smoke! I just picked up my Cosmodrome Nike Apache from my parents house a few days ago. It may finally get to fly 20+ years after being built.

Got my L1 on that rocket 18 yrs. ago on an H128. Retired it last yr. after 20+ flights. Great kit. Nice build.

I'm just about 20 minutes from the Triploi Idaho Swan Falls Launch Site so I hope to get this one in the air at the next launch in October.
