I like it!I've been working on this for 3 months. I'm pretty proud I welcome all feedback on this build.
You should be proud... impressive build. My only comment would be for you to post some in-process build photo's , if you have any.... and maybe tell us more information about the rocket.I've been working on this for 3 months. I'm pretty proud I welcome all feedback on this build.
Sorry long time to reply it's 1/200th scale N-1 & I'm planning on flying it on a c-5-3 or c-6-3More info, please. What size is it and what motor(s) are you going to fly it on?
The grid fins are very cool.
Scratch the only things bought are the nose cone & through tube.Is this a kit or scratch built?
We shall find out I'm hoping so.wow. are those grid fins really going to work??
How much does it weigh?Sorry long time to reply it's 1/200th scale N-1 & I'm planning on flying it on a c-5-3 or c-6-3
4.1 ozHow much does it weigh?
Stick with the C5-3.4.1 oz
I know given the weight the c-5 will give it more initial push. My dad is begging me to never launch it he said shelf it because it looks so accurate. I built it I want to fly it.Stick with the C5-3.

And, just maybe, give it one flight then put it on a shelf. Personally, I don't consider a build complete until it's had its first flight. After that, if I ever built something that nice, I might not want to risk it a second time.Rockets are born to fly! Just be sure to get plenty of good photos before first flight.

Card stock balsa bamboo skewers the launch escape tower is made from ball point pen parts & a plastic grease tip. The grid part of the grid fins was a small hanger I cut to size in fourths. The round tank tops I utilized the bottom of plastic Easter eggs. The connecting sections between the tanks I utilized old nylon guitar strings. Lots of measuring cutting gluing cursing & second guessing myself.What is the model constructed from ?How were the curved body parts made and the detailing? Shaped balsa parts? Was it all 3d printed?
Oh man this would have made a great build thread.Card stock balsa bamboo skewers the launch escape tower is made from ball point pen parts & a plastic grease tip.

I could possibly dig through photos & put together a thread. I just wanted an N-1 1/200th scale to match size with my RTF Saturn V & Artemis SLS.Oh man this would have made a great build thread.
So the really skinny (translated “fragile-looking”) short segment of the nose is the inside plastic piece of a ballpoint pen?Card stock balsa bamboo skewers the launch escape tower is made from ball point pen parts & a plastic grease tip.

If it was me I would build a simple cone (or equivalent) with grid fins in order to test and balance it out if needed.wow. are those grid fins really going to work??
