Goblins and Berthas and Halloween Oh My...
Super Big Bertha with E-Rockets upgrade fins, papering, and basswood half-rounds.
Also armored the corners and bottom edges of all Berthas with thinned epoxy. Am tired of dinged fins. Will see if it helps. You can see standard Estes 2 tubes + coupler issue lol. I like single tubes but I had these so used them. The Super is also sleeved with a BMS coupler - wanted to try it on a non-sensitive build.
A scratch built Baby Bertha with TTW fins and a 24mm mount...Boo!
That was a NICE one in prev post BTW, will have to paint this one a little brighter for spotting and recovery.
Scratchbuilt Goblin with TTW and papered fins - planning a large streamer and surviving impact : /
Looking at a BT80/2.6 Goblin with a 4 x 24mm cluster (rings from Rocketarium) an a slotted BMS tube I have. That should be smokin' and cheaper than a single 29mm mid-power. Cluster + TTW = sturdy. If I keep weight down it will fly on 4 C6-5's with adapters. Even cheapier.
No sanding or VOC in shop due to temp animal hospital status.
