A number of us picked up the Super Neon XL from the sales that Estes has held over the last two years.
A number of us have them in the build pile, awaiting the winter or for inspiration to strike.
The rocket is basically six "sonic" tubes clustered around the base of the main body tube.
Plus some small fins stuck out from the top of the sonic tubes. Oh, and a nosecone and parachute.
But I'm wondering (since I've built one to spec, and enjoyed it a lot) what other variations are possible with my spare kit.
A fellow club member just finished his build, and simply left off the small fins. In a drag race with me, we discovered his rocket
leaned over on an D12-5, and so didn't achieve the same height or delay on return as mine did.
So, what other variations have you tried? Any suggestions for kit bashing to make the next one better, different, or something unique?
