Gliding bluebird zero

[burkefj]

While watching Narcon I began wondering what if the estes bluebird zero had a love child that could glide. So here you go, 36" long, 2.6" diameter, 28.5" wingspan, 10 oz rtf (once the nose is painted) w/aerotech E-6 and rc elevon controls. Iron cross on each wing, efx IV on each side of the tail, eagle across the canards, bbz text on fwd fuse... I always thought that rocket was neat but I never saw one in a hobby shop to pick one up..

Gliding Bluebird Zero takes flight! Flew great even though my eyes were still dilated from the eye doctor and it was all a blur

Finished her up with the stickershock decals. Some ass-hat on fb said he didn't appreciate my nazi themed rocket, I had to explain the crosses originated in 1918 and that they are still on the der red max as well as on the original kit, nothing nazi about it.....

Would there be any interest if I did a kit of this?

Few people know that baby bluebird zeros don't develop their full markings until they get bigger...

Mark Hayes was interested in an upscale for the 29mm H-13 motors, so it is taking shape, it's a monster, 41" wingspan, 53" long, 3" diameter.

Finished, 32.5 oz rtf with H-13 installed!

Nice maiden of the 29mm upscale R/C Bluebird Zero rocket glider, it's a tad nose heavy for the maiden, I'm moving the cg back a bit at a time to dial it in.

Flight 2 from this weekend at tri cities on H-13 motor

Love this rocket. Was planning on ordering the 18mm version when it disappeared from your website. I hope you bring it back and I also hope you release the Fake Wulf as a kit. I love the German themed rockets.
