Hey, hey, HEY!
Seems that Dragon Rocketry's Fat Boy XL is a big hit here!
More recently @Sooner Boomer
had a build thread on building one strong for "as big of a 38mm motor as I can reasonably fit".
Before that, I read @Back_at_it's build thread and I was fascinated with his attempts to lighten the rocket to launch off F and G motors. Additionally, I had been pondering ways to build a heavy 6" X-15 kit lighter and the light Apogee X-15 kit stronger.
So I thought I'd try doing both!
I'll build two bodies... one light -"Notso Fatso" (can I say that?) and one heavy - "Oh-beast Boy"; and I'll use the same nose cone on both!
I'm pretty far along on the lite build, but my posting will be slower and please bear with me as the heavier (or stock?) build has lower priority, so that may not be for quite a while.
