Gary Larsen's Bovine Farside Rocket - A BT-80H Scratch Build

[Daddyisabar]

Heck, D motors would fit up their. Quan. (6), with an F-15 BP motor at the rear. But the altitude is only 255 feet.​

​

Let me ponder the cost and complexity of this. Doesn't seem like a hill I want to climb.​

​

And trying to get BP motors to fire at the same time as composite motors... very, very problematic​

BP and composite motors won't mix. All BP or Bust! Build light, build strong. Heavy up front good. Heavy in back bad. Greebles rock!

The naughty ones say: Easier to pull up garbage design than push up garbage design. No junk in the trunk. I have pulled up so much garbage rocket design even Oscar the Grouch thinks my mind is gone.

The nice ones say: If you can't sim it, don't fly it. 3-4FNC rule. Keep the fins and motor in back, where they should be! Avoid the oddroc BOTOX and fly safe until the cows come home.

Come the Holiday Season will you be on the naughty or nice list? Only Santa knows!

Duct the tractors backwards to rear eject? Crazy, who does that?

Six D12s and one F15 cluster on an oddroc! That is Rocking the Casbah.

I think this nose cone is for the other Larsen Rocket, isn't it?

You are of course correct. I confused my own threads... ​

Put on the shroud and baby got back. Little in the middle butchya got much back!

Do you plan to do anything with that interior crack, to assure it doesn't spread to the exterior?

After the great cow debacle of 2023, those who didn't think the cows would retaliate will pay the price for their lack of vision.

... the great cow debacle of 2023...

Did I miss something or is my memory failing me? ​

I built this one last year based on the BT-70 and it flys very well on 24mm motors…

And there ya go.... stellar rocket. Nicely done.​

​

I'll step away from this one. It's been done.​

 

[jflis]

aw hell no, don't stop! build it!!

 

[lakeroadster]

aw hell no, don't stop! build it!!

Meh... I've got quite the fleet awaiting paint and finishing. If it's not something new, it just doesn't light my fire.​

​

​

 

[jqavins]

Not to mention the ones awaiting first flights. We all want some launch reports, John.

 

[Daddyisabar]

But it hasn't been done with plywood, real metal, rear eject and canted tractor motors!

1. Materials. I will use only lightweight, non-metal parts for the nose, body, and fins of my rocket.​

So good to see you reforming to the Light Side!

$70 a year for insurance... It would be kind of silly to violate their spec's.​

I'll get in contact with Putin... He'll hook me up. He has more flexibility, since he just got re-elected.​

With the A10 Warthogs phasing out, those 30 mm depleted uranium bullets are gonna need a home somewhere…..
