Estes Mini Honest John Build

[cjp]

My wonderful daughter showed me how to down size my picture file size.Hope this works.The stock build is with a 13mm motor mount.The Red/White roll pattern has larger fins 1/4" larger with .60oz of clay to the nose.The CG is perfect.Same as the 13mm.

Im most impressed, that red and white with black paint scheme is indeed awesome. I don't know I just might paint it like that. As for the most improved version of the HoJo I need to get me another one. I noticed that the real life model has a tailcone on it and I want to make it exactly as how it should be.

Thanks,the foiled fins added should let you get more height.I made a 3/16" launch lug from some card stock and added twin streamers.I had some black decal paper,that's how I added the black stripes to the white section.I would like to see your build with the tailcone added.That's a great looking version.

Ok so there are alot of youtube videos with all kinds of paintschemes. This one has JFK and what looks to me like a dark green finish. Hard to tell with these old movie transfers. That picture you found with the boattail is very cool; any info about where and when it was taken and where you found it ? I'd love to get a tape measure and calipers on that one.
