Here are pictures of my first scratch build "Corn Rocket" and "Spud Missile".

My first posting with pictures! I think I am just as proud as it as the rockets! :rotflol::surprised:
 
Very nice! I especially like the fin design of the corn rocket. Did it fly well?
 
The corn rocket flew better than expected....Had to tighten up the fins a bit. Birch ply would have been better. Flew best on a C6-5 out of all the flights but still alot of bulk/resistance with the air. I do have a 18mm D motor to flew it on next....

"We need more power Scottie!!! I'm given you all she's got!" :lol:
 
Just use thinner Basswood or something. How did you get the spud cone?
 
Ahhhh! Spud cone! Ancient chinese secret! :rotflol:

Actually the spud cone is a Hobby Lobby paper mache egg. Not bad huh?
 
I love the corn rocket. The fins are great - I've been wanting to try something similar...I feel mine are generally too boring.
