So, I thought I would try my hand at Steampunk motif.
I had seen a fantastic steampunk V2 and some forward motor mounted motor designs on line so I thought, lets see if we can pull off both.
This is an Estes V2 kit 3228
4 - 18mm forward mounted engine tubes
Rear chute deployment
Steampunk
The maiden voyage, 2 engine on one side ignited well before the other 2 causing a very erratic flight that went nearly horizontal. The chute deployed and landed without a scratch though so we will give it a go again another day.
