Inspired by the Fliskits Decaffinator I grabbed a pack of 1.5 oz mini cups at Dollar tree. 13mm body tube running through all. Cut holes with wood burning tool. Glued together with e6000. Cut a 4 inch long 1/2 inch dowel. Glued it to the top 3 cups. Wrapped masking tape on the other end to make it secure when inserted into the main body tube.
Glued shock cord to the two tubes and tied 4 ft streamer to the shock cord. Cord and streamer get put in the cups, so no need for wadding. Launch lug courtesy of Cumbys, Glued on and reinforced with epoxy.
Fins are foam core, scaled down from the Decaffinator.
A10-3 secured with masking tape.
Two flights. Both successful. Second was better, because I actually tied the streamer on.
Now contemplating CA staging, A10-0 to A10-3.

Very nice!

would a two stage version be an “Expresso”? Or”Double Expresso”?

  • In terms of cup size measurements, espresso cups typically range from 1.5 ounces up to 6 ounces
It’s questions like this that keep me up at night…….

also, no comprende “Now contemplating CA staging, A10-0 to A10-3.”

?CA staging? Is that the California politically correct version of CHAD staging? Definitely hope it isn’t the Florida version, although it is infamous for long hang times.

Cheap ass
 
I did a clone-ish of the 13 mm Fliskits Expresso and an 18 mm downscale I call Mocha Java.
Here's the family:

Don't know if I'm gonna do 29mm though.
Max Q is a problem.

Well, there goes my cornflakes. I thought “Expresso” was original. Same darn thing with the TiddlyWink rotor fins. Oh well….
