Hi all,
I've been building this rocket on and off for a while now and I'm ready to continue and hopefully I'll finish it up soon. I'll start by copy/pasting the build from a previous post off a different forum, so here goes:
So here is my next project, I actually started this about four years ago. I guess now is as good as any time to finish it.
'XXtreme Blue'
There is all 6" blue tube for the airframe. Starting on the left is the fin can/motor mount. It has 1/2 plywood delta fins mounted thru the wall to a 4" motor mount with an Areo Pac motor retention already assembled. At the top of it you see the BluT coupler, inside it is a section of sliced BluT to make the coupler a double wall construction. The short section to the right is the drogue bay with the altimeter bay in the top of it, the Alt bay will also be Dbl wall const. To the right of that is the Main chute bay along with a pile of cut bulk heads cut out of 3/4" birch plywood. Then to the right again is the conical nose cone,
the whole rocket will be +/- 12' tall.
I'll add more detailed photos to our URRG forum as soon as I get started on the project.
FYI; the big tubes, FG nosecone and FG fins you see behind this and in the blue recycle bin are for a Nike Smoke project that will be a future build sometime in the future. (This is another project I have been collecting parts for since LDRS 31)
